Income Distributional Effects of Decoupled Payments: Single Payment Scheme in the European Union
This paper analyses the effects of the Single Payment Scheme (SPS) with and without farm
structural change. Particular focus is placed on how income distributional effects and farm
restructuring are impacted by the SPS under: alternative entitlement tradability, crosscompliance
and CAP ‘greening’ requirements, different SPS implementation models, the
entitlement stock, market imperfections and institutional regulations. The authors find that the
SPS implication details are highly significant: farmers’ benefits can range from 100% of the SPS
value to a negative policy incidence, and farm structural change may be hindered by the SPS.
