The Role of Risk in the Decision to Produce Post-Decoupling - A Stochastic Budgeting Example [PDF]

open access: yes
Under the Mac Sharry and Agenda 2000 reforms, direct payments comprised a significant portion of farmers' income in the EU. Farmers had to engage in production to receive these payments but the payments were relatively risk-free and therefore risk may ...

COULD THE RADICAL CHANGES OF DIRECT PAYMENTS POLICY DESTROY AGRICULTURAL MARKETS IN THE EU NEW MEMBER STATES?

open access: yesEkonomika Poljoprivrede (1979), 2011
The form and scope of direct payments under the Common Agricultural Policy are controversial for several reasons: high budgetary costs, unfair distribution between old and new Member States and weak argumentation of payments; consequently, they will ...

Tunable Extraordinary Optical Transmission in the Long‐Wavelength Infrared Range Using Electrostatic MEMS Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A MEMS‐integrated metamaterial filter enables continuous, low‐voltage spectral tuning in the long‐wavelength infrared (LWIR). The device employs extraordinary optical transmission in a dual suspended metasurface stack, where electrostatic actuation precisely controls the intermembrane air gap.
