25. März 2008 bis 24. September 2008 (6 Monate

EU Marie Curie Project:

Modern Agriculture in Central and Eastern Europe (MACE)

First Announcement

Objective

The Summer School `Agricultural Policy Analysis´ aims to provide young researchers with an

introduction to the impact analysis of the adoption of the Common Agricultural Policy on

agricultural sectors, rural areas, and the national economies in the new CEE member states.

The participants will learn to apply a variety of practical instruments of macro- and micro-level

policy analysis to agricultural policy analysis.

The Summer School programme consists of lectures by experienced researchers, guest

lectures, and presentations of the participants. Extensive time will be provided for

discussions among participants.

The Summer School will combine two thematic modules:

1) Modelling policy impacts on structural change using agent-based modelling

The learning objectives address conceptual and methodological issues of agent-based

modelling in the field of agricultural and resource economics. Theoretical and methodological

sessions will be followed by examples of practical and theoretically oriented applications as

well as with practical exercises. Policy impacts on structural change will be addressed using

agent-based modelling approaches.

2) Market and policy analysis: theory, modelling and computer-based analysis

The objective is to deliver knowledge and modelling skills on relevant issues of market and

policy analysis. Theoretical concepts will create a basis for model formulation and practical

computer-based implementation. The module addresses issues on market, price and trade

policy, as well as budgeting and priority setting.

Organisation

The seminar will be jointly organised by the Chair for Agricultural Policy at the Humboldt

University of Berlin, Germany, the Department of Structural Development of Farms and Rural
