Abstract:
In this paper we apply a political objective function approach developed by Salhofer and Glebe
(2004) to explain the high variability of agri-environmental program implementation at the EU
regional level. The analysis covers 55 EU regions during the period 2001-2002, using basic data
extracted from the Common Monitoring Indicators collected by the UE Commission for the
programme’s evaluation process. The main results indicate that the area covered by agrienvironmental
programs increases in regions where budget constraints are less severe and where the
social demand for environmental amenities is more relevant. Moreover, agri-environmental programs
are negatively related to the participation opportunity cost and show a non linear relation with the
farmer’s political weight.
