Bridging ex-post and ex-ante EU social indicator trends
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development represents a roadmap for navigating a sustainable path for global human development through 17 goals spanning economic, social and environmental domains. While ex-ante modelling is frequently used to anticipate progress in the economic and environmental spheres, the social domain remains relatively neglected. To fill this gap and taking an EU perspective, this paper combines novel ex-post econometrics a…
Doing More With Less
In September 2025, the European Parliament and Council signed the law of the Revision of the EU waste framework directive, which includes also reductions for food loss and waste (FLW). This comes at a time of concern over the EU's strategic autonomy for its agrifood sector. Taking a cradle‐to‐grave approach, this paper combines official FLW statistics with recent advances in simulation modelling to quantify the impacts of two FLW cuts scenarios o…
The development of bio-based industry in the European Union
Remaining Loyal to Our Soil
Soil loss by water erosion represents a key threat to land degradation worldwide. This study employs an integrated quantitative modelling approach to estimate its long-term global sustainability impacts. The global biophysical model estimates a mean increase of soil erosion rates of between 30 and 66% over the period 2015–2070 under alternative climate-economic scenarios, assuming different greenhouse gas concentration trajectories. In a subseque…
Exploring economy-wide sustainable conditions for EU bio-chemical activities
The EU's Green Deal sets out a vision for a clean, competitive, climate neutral circular economy. As a part-solution for decarbonising its industrial base and improving its strategic autonomy, the role of bio-based substitutes is envisaged. Focusing on EU chemicals, the MAGNET simulation model is employed to quantify the impacts from EU bio-based chemical, pharmaceutical and plastic output increases over a thirty-year time horizon to 2050. To sup…
Empirical insights on the dynamics of SPS trade costs
With its influence on the world stage, the EU’s Farm to Fork initiative seeks to extend sustainable and fair food production practises globally, in part, by encouraging convergence with EU food standards (i.e., sanitary and phytosanitary measures-SPS). Harmonisation clauses have been found empirically to encourage trade, but no quantifiable estimates exist on the trade effects of SPS regulatory convergence. This paper examines this issue for the …
Has the European Union entered a bioeconomy transition? Combining an output-based approach with a shift-share analysis
The bioeconomy is a collective of activities charged with the production of biologically renewable resources or ‘biomass’ (e.g. agriculture, forestry), its diverse application (e.g. food, textiles, construction, chemicals) and subsequent reuse (e.g. compositing, waste management). Since the European Union (EU) launched its bioeconomy strategy in 2012, further bioeconomy policy initiatives have proliferated at regional, national and pan-European l…
Brexit
This paper estimates the effects of potential post-Brexit UK trade and domestic agricultural policy scenarios on the economic welfare (real income) of farm households, at both regional (devolved administrations) and national level. Results show that depending on the selected scenario, particularly the retention or elimination of direct payments as currently provided under Pillar 1 of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the impact varies signifi…
A linkage between the biophysical and the economic
Employing a linkage between a biophysical and an economic model, this study estimates the economic impact of soil erosion by water on the world economy. The global biophysical model estimates soil erosion rates, which are converted into land productivity losses and subsequently inserted into a global market simulation model. The headline result is that soil erosion by water is estimated to incur a global annual cost of eight billion US dollars to…
Sailing into Unchartered Waters
Levelling the playing field for European Union agriculture
The EU budget battle
There is a paucity of quantitative impact assessments of the sectorial and macroeconomic impacts of CAP budget reform for EU member states. To fill this gap, the current study employs a sophisticated agricultural variant of the GTAP model to evaluate the recently agreed CAP spending limits for the financial period 2014–2020 as well as a more radical 50% cut to the CAP budget proposed by the UK government. The study incorporates methodological inn…
The Impact of EU Export Refunds on the African Continent
The EU’s export refund policy has long been a source of controversy for its perceived impacts on third country markets. However, the EU Commission maintain that these concerns are largely historic as CAP reforms mean that export refunds are now used infrequently. The purpose of this article is therefore to assess the impacts of refunds in the wake of the 2003 reform of the CAP using two complementary analyses: first, an analysis using a computabl…
