| Abstract: | Agri-environmental schemes (AES) have been introduced as part of European Union's (EU) Common Agricultural Policy and are now an important of this. A methodological approach to analyse the policy effects of AES is outlined, in which the authors distinguish between performance effects (on agricultural practices) and outcome effects (environmental impact). Data from personal interviews of participating and non-participating farmers in AES measures in nine EU Member States and Switzerland were used to analyse policy effects, including single indicator effects on agricultural practices as well as combined effects at the agreement level. |
