EU Budget Cuts Have Minimal Impact on Agriculture, Consumers Unaffected
The paper discusses how budget cuts in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union (EU) from 2014-2020 will affect EU and world markets. The researchers used a model called MAGNET to simulate these effects. The results show that the budget cuts are not expected to have significant impacts on the markets due to the current non-distortive nature of the CAP policy.
