"Chapter 9A: Agricultural Production Targeting" by Chepeliev, Maksym, Erwin Corong, Pattawee Puangchit and Thiago Simonato Abstract In GTAP parlance, agricultural production targeting (APT) is a procedure applied to a country’s I-O table before the main data construction phase. Except for its agricultural orientation, it is unrelated to the agricultural I-O data disaggregation. Rather, it arises from concerns that arose with the GTAP 5 Data Base, that in the data for European Union (EU) member countries, there were considerable inaccuracies in levels and international distribution of agricultural production, and, consequently, in the budgetary cost of assistance. This led to problems in the analysis of EU agricultural reform. The investigation revealed that these inaccuracies largely reflected discrepancies between the representation of agriculture in the contributed I-O tables for EU member countries at the time (Leeuwen 2002) and EUROSTAT production data relied upon by EU stakeholders. These arose partly from differences in reference years (the I-O data being older), but more from basic data differences. In response, a special version of the GTAP 5 Data Base was prepared for the exclusive use of GTAP Consortium members, in which the agricultural production levels in EU member countries were revised. The revisions were made not within the database construction procedure itself but as adjustments to the I-O tables entering into the procedure. In GTAP 6 Data Base, this targeting was incorporated for the first time into a public data release. Since then, Consortium members interested in agricultural policy analysis have pressed for the extension of the targeting to non-EU countries. |
