“…For example, the common assumption that Japan, Switzerland and Norway are protective in terms of agricultural trade and pursue the model of multifunctional agriculture is much more often put into a context with the EU than with South Korea (e.g. Brunstad et al 1999). Thus, the exercise of using sectoral variables for clustering reveals some new patterns.…”

“…Brunstad et al (1999), for example, recall Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Japan and Finland as the 'biggest spenders of OECD' (p. 541). This finding is regarded either as welfare-destroying misbehaviour (Tyers and Anderson 1988;Hertel and Keeney 2006) or as a conscious strategy or view labelled as multifunctionality (Paarberg et al 2002;Wüstemann et al 2008).…”

Studies of convergence of regional growth in Western Europe have given varying results, depending on the addition of conditioning variables and estimation methods, as well as underlying models. This exploration adds agricultural variables to the basic convergence model, which suggests that initially poorer regions grow faster than initially more wealthy regions. Subsidising agriculture may be expected to impact growth in different ways than initial gross value added per capita. We find some support for our hypothesis that agricultural support has a negative impact on convergence. The coefficients have the right sign and are significant or nearly significant, but the results of both the basis model and our augmented model may be subject to other mis-specification problems, possibly including non-stationarity, even after including the spatially lagged dependent variable. This is examined using geographically weighted regression.JEL Classification: R11, O40, C29

In terms of Pigouvian welfare economics agricultural production may have positive external effects on perceived public goods like the amenity value of the cultural landscape, see for instance Drake (1992).…”

Abstract:This paper summarises a decade of research by the authors into the welfare economic foundations for agricultural policy. The main results are that the levels of support to agriculture in rich developed countries like Norway are way out of proportion with what could conceivably be defended by welfare theoretic arguments. However, the present debate on the multifunctional role of agriculture points to valid arguments for agricultural support. In terms of welfare economics these arguments are found in the links between agriculture and public goods like landscape amenities and food security. This paper offers a modest attempt to quantify the Pigouvian subsidies that could be derived from these arguments.
