Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the impact of European Union (EU) Common Agricultural Policy
(CAP) reforms on structural change in the EU agricultural sector. The CAP is still the most
integrated of all EU policies and consequently makes up a large share of the EU budget.
The main aim of this thesis is to provide an empirical assessment of structural changes in
the EU agricultural sector due to the recent agricultural policy reforms. The objective is to
gain a deeper understanding of the adjustment processes that take place in agriculture. This
requires an identification of causal relationships between exogenous factors, political
intervention and farmers' decision making. The strong focus of the thesis is on the
development of adequate and innovative quantitative methods and models to support the
analysis of structural change due to agricultural policy reforms.
