Economic modelling and decision support for agricultural and environmental policies

Our team at Polissia National University uses economic and econometric modelling to analyse the agricultural sector, develop medium-term market projections and assess the impacts of policy decisions. We also develop alternative scenarios to explore how agricultural production, markets and trade may evolve under different economic and political conditions.
We can contribute to projects in the following areas:
- agricultural policy: assessing the impacts of subsidies, trade measures and CAP instruments on agricultural production, markets, farm competitiveness and structural changes in the agricultural sector.
- Ukraine's agricultural sector modelling: developing medium-term projections and alternative scenarios under different assumptions about the war, post-war recovery, EU accession and agricultural policy changes. As a major agricultural producer and exporter, Ukraine plays an important role in European and global food markets.
- organic farming: assessing economic incentives, policy support measures and potential scenarios for expanding organic production, including the competitiveness of organic producers.
- agri-environmental policies: assessing the economic impacts of policies related to fertiliser use, resource efficiency and greenhouse gas emission reduction, including in the livestock sector.
- agricultural competitiveness and structural change: analysing the competitiveness of agricultural producers, changes in farm structures and integration processes in the agricultural sector.
Our team has experience in Horizon Europe projects, economic modelling and scenario development. We also work with Ukrainian policymakers and stakeholders to discuss modelling results, policy scenarios and their implications for the agricultural sector.
We are interested in joining research consortia under Horizon Europe Cluster 6 and contributing to projects involving agricultural and environmental policy analysis, market projections and scenario modelling.
