Course aim

The 2017 USAMV Bucharest Agricultural Economics and Policy Summer School aims to start with basic welfare economic notions like the Pareto principles and dead-weight losses and then apply standard instruments of policy analysis to the different pillars of the Common Agricultural Policy. More innovative and broader tools applied by evaluation scholars such as qualitative analysis will be applied towards the end of the course. Over the week, students will develop a concept for evaluating a specific agricultural policy instrument.
