Technical Papers und Projekt Reports
Technical papers and project reports of the group "Economic and Agricultural Policy" at the Institute for Food and Resource Economics represent papers, notes and reports from project related work usually not intended for journal submission in this form. They shall support communication on current research efforts. More general research papers appear in the discussion paper series "Food and Resource Economics" or can be found under the category "journal publications" (both also on this website) The authors are solely responsible for the release of technical papers and project reports. Comments, questions, and criticisms are welcome and should be sent to the authors directly. All citations need to be cleared with the corresponding author.
