%T Removal of farm subsidies in a regional economy: a computable general equilibrium analysis %A Miguel, Francisco Javier de %A Manresa, Antonio %J Applied Economics %N 16 %P 2109-2120 %V 40 %D 2008 %= 2011-04-01T03:52:00Z %~ http://www.peerproject.eu/ %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-240830 %X The purpose of this paper is to analyse the importance of farm subsidies for the Extremadura economy. To this end, a computable general equilibrium model for this region is presented, with which we analyse the economic effects caused by a simulated removal of these subsidies. Different scenarios involving the labour market rigidities and tax compensation are considered. Model parameters are determined by the procedure known as calibration, using a social accounting matrix constructed for this economy. The results clearly show the negative effects that this elimination would produce on the main micro and macroeconomic variables. %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
