Abstract: 
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union (EU) is
characterized by a wide array of individual policy measures, which
differ by the category of instruments, across commodities and over time.
Consequently, the net impact of the policy mix on price incentives for
producers and consumers had been intransparent for years. This study
utilizes a regionalized concept of producer support estimates (PSEs) to
elaborate the primary effects of the CAP on producers at a disaggregate
level of NUTS III regions. 26 regions in the federal state of Hesse,
Germany, in the years 1986-1999 are utilized as a case study. One
important result is that a uniform CAP does affect the regions very
differently. Recent reforms of the CAP have not reduced significantly
the average level of agricultural support in the region studied.
Statistically significant downward trends in absolute producer support
due to price support were associated with significant upward trends due
to direct payments. Interestingly, absolute and relative PSE measures
due to the CAP and price support are fully uncorrelated with each other.
If transfers under the CAP are targeted in terms of absolute support,
e.g., this may induce an arbitrary interregional distribution of PSEs in
relation to farm revenues.(This abstract was borrowed from another
