Title: Modeling China’s Agriculture Support Policy Effects
Abstract: China has shifted its agricultural policy from tax agriculture to support it. The paper exams the agricultural policy changes of China in recent year, focusing on the support policy. China supports its agriculture sector through tax elimination, area payment and input subsidy. The author modifies evaluation model used by OECD. The modified model is applied to wheat and rice support policy in China. The effects of these support policies are compared with those of market price support. The preliminary estimation results suggest that the area payment bring less effects than market price support and is not as expected.
