Information System for Assessing the Economic Impact of Common Agricultural Policy Financing on the Agricultural Sector

Description

The utility model "Information System for Assessing the Economic Impact of Common Agricultural Policy Financing on the Agricultural Sector" includes the following main components:

• User computer devices: workstations or terminals used by experts and administrators to access data and results within the system.
• Database module: stores Common Agricultural Policy financing parameters, such as direct payments and rural development measures, alongside economic, social, and environmental indicators of the agricultural sector, and is configured to accept input from external sources of official statistics and administrative registers.
• Analysis and evaluation module: comprising four functional sub-modules — an econometric sub-module for quantitative analysis of the relationship between financing and outcome indicators, a multi-criteria analysis sub-module with normalization and weighting for aggregated scores, a comparative and index analysis sub-module across periods, regions, and subsectors, and a scenario analysis sub-module for alternative funding configurations.
• Visualization and decision-support module: builds graphical dashboards with key indicators, thematic regional maps, and automatically generated text and graphical reports with summaries and recommendations.
• Institutional reporting server: connected to the visualization and decision-support module for storage, archiving, and sharing of reporting outputs with competent authorities and organizations.

 

Opportunities

This system provides a unified methodological framework for evaluating the impact of Common Agricultural Policy financing, consolidating official statistical and administrative data into a consistent database. It enables simultaneous analysis of economic, social, and environmental aspects, supports the development and evaluation of alternative funding scenarios, and delivers results in a form directly usable by public administration, research organizations, and industry bodies for monitoring, policy adjustment, and prioritization of interventions across regions, subsectors, and types of farms.
