The Role of Agriculture in the Turkey-EU Integration

Meer over het boek

The study delves into the complex integration of Turkey's agriculture with the EU, considering historical, cultural, political, and economic factors. It uniquely employs a multi-sector, multi-region general equilibrium framework to assess welfare effects, resource allocation, and labor mobility. Key findings suggest that Turkey's agricultural benefits hinge on EU budget transfers for production subsidies, which seems unlikely given the EU's current challenges. The analysis advocates for market-oriented reforms in both Turkey and the EU to enhance outcomes, regardless of formal integration.
