“…Much of these reactions were consistent with anti-cyclical policy reactions as have been historically observed in agricultural and food policy in many countries (Anderson et al, 2013;Swinnen, 2009), although changes in political institutions and mass media have influenced political reactions both in developing countries (Olper and Swinnen, 2013;Olper et al, 2014) and in the EU (Swinnen, 2008(Swinnen, , 2015bCrombez et al, 2012). 4…”

“…Yet, by focusing on the agricultural policy, our results also contribute to the broad literature studying the political economy of the CAP and the evolution and functioning of the EU decision‐making process (e.g. Crombez & Swinnen, 2008; Greer, 2017; Greer & Hind, 2012; Swinnen, 2015; Tsebelis, 1994), as well as the emerging literature on the European Added Value (EAV) (e.g. Heinemann et al, 2013; Medarova‐Bergstrom et al, 2012).…”

This article exploits the sequences of the European Union (EU) enlargements to investigate their impact on the incoming countries' agricultural policy. We use a quasi-experimental approach-the Synthetic Control method-to identify changes in the level of agricultural protection of the new members, in comparison with a counterfactual scenario. Our results suggest that earlier 1973 and 1985 EU enlargements show a significant increase in the rate of assistance to agriculture of incoming countries. The opposite holds, however, for the 1995 and 2004 enlargements, where the incomers significantly reduced their level of assistance to agriculture, in comparison with a counterfactual scenario.

“…Recently, a few studies Swinnen (2015) and Elmes (2016) have examined the nexus between food production and income inequality (GINI, GINI index). Food insecurity is exacerbated by unequal income distribution because it perpetuates poverty and extends the accessibility gap.…”

Population Growth, Biofuel Production, and Food Security

This paper examines the impact of population growth on food security given the level of biofuel using a panel data of 57 developing countries. Adopting generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator, interaction term between population growth and biofuel has a negative and significant impact on food security. This implies that as the population grows, the effects of biofuel on food security worsen. Additionally, we look at the related problem for each of the four dimensions of food security—availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability. In doing so, this study supports the earlier finding that the impact of biofuel on food security tends to worsen as a country's population grows across all four aspects of food security. Thus, this study points to many policy implications for dealing with the effect of biofuel production on food security in light of population expansion.
