    • Benefits and Costs of Methane Emission Reduction in the Irish National Herd 

      Garvey, Eoghan; Mc Inerney, Niall (National University of Ireland, Galway, 2004)

      Garvey, Eoghan; McInerney, Niall; Cuddy, Michael P. (National University of Ireland, Galway, 2004)
      In this paper we adapt the CAPRI model to facilitate an analysis of CAP reform on agriculture in Ireland's NUTS 3 regions. We make assumptions about how the Luxembourg Agreement will be implemented in the Member States ...
