Évaluation de politiques de retrait des terres pour la régulation d'un marché agricole

  • Pierre-Alain Jayet

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the welfare analysis of voluntary and opt-out mandatory set-aside policies relying on the incentive theory under adverse selection. Differently from Bourgeon et al. [1995], farms are composed of homogeneous yield plots. Optimal regulation by price and set-aside leads to theoretical and numerical results for soft wheat and low quality wine markets. Price adjustment limits the social cost due to the producers' information rent involving redistributional transfers between producers, consumers and taxpayers.
