Analysis on the Policy Effects of the Public-interest Direct Payment System

The purpose of this research is to analyze policy effects of the public interest direct payment system. The major findings are as follows. First, the income effect under price uncertainty using the Monte Carlo simulation for paddy (rice) agriculture, the public direct payment system was advantageous in terms of the farm income when the market price was maintained at 176,515 won/80kg or higher. In addition, both expected income and income stability decreased compared to the previous direct payment program for rice farms Second, the income distribution effect for paddy and upland fields under different scenarios were conducted by calculating the Gini coefficients. In the case of paddy fields, the income distribution effects of the new program is proven, but is less than the previous direct payment scheme On the other hand, in the case of upland fields, the public-interest direct payment system shows a higher income distribution effect than the former counterpart.
