This training session, held in Warsaw from June 26-30, 2006, focuses on the CAPRI (Common Agricultural Policy Regional Impact) model. It emphasizes the connection between supply and demand in agricultural economics, utilizing multi-commodity spatial market models and regional optimization strategies. Key discussions include the iterative nature of CAPRI, strategies for promoting convergence, and the role of elasticity in supply-demand dynamics. The session aims to enhance understanding of agricultural policy's regional effects and improve economic modeling techniques.

Conclusions • If “demand elasticity” > “supply elasticity”, it will converge, otherwise not • CAPRI has to be solved iteratively • Elasticities are chosen bases on economic criteria not to obtain convergence We will likely need some mechanism promote convergence in CAPRI
Different ways of promoting convergence • Adjustment cost: Additional production cost for deviating from the supply in the previous step • Price expectation: Supply uses weighted average of prices in several previous step. Used in CAPRI • Partial adjustment: Supply only moves a fraction of the way towards the optimum in each step • Approximate supply functions used in market instead of fixed supply. Used in CAPRI
Approximation of supply functions • The implicit supply function is unknown • Difficult to derive for CAPRI • Has non-differential points (corners) difficult to solve together with market model • Assume “any” simple supply function that approximates the supply model • Calibrate the parameters in each step so that the supply response of last step is reproduced
