<p>From an investment into a good company website usually economic advantages are expected. However, there only exist a few studies about the correlations between economic indicators and the quality of company websites. To investigate these correlations is one of the objectives of an international long-term study of 1,000 small and medium-sized European production companies in Germany and Denmark.</p><p>This article gives an overview of the research project with an emphasis on the statistical investigations, the obtained results, and possible interpretations. It is demonstrated how in correlation analyses one can obtain insights also from ratio numbers such as the financial gearing.    </p>

We use a nonlinear commodity market model to assess, theoretically and empirically, the impacts of recent reforms of the CAP on prices and economic welfare in the EU. The empirical analysis is based on an aggregate structural econometric model of the EU wheat economy and its links to the rest of the world. Instability issues are also investigated. Impacts of CAP reforms on the variance of domestic and world prices are analysed and a Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate uncertainty in the model's welfare computations. Recent reforms led to a net welfare gain within the EU during the period 1993–2000. Additional budgetary costs are less than the welfare gains of consumers and producers. Producers gained as lower price support was overcompensated by additional direct payments.
