agriPAM - Agricultural Policy Analysis Matrix Toolkit
Builds and analyses Policy Analysis Matrices ('PAMs') for
agricultural production systems. Computes private and social
profitability, policy transfers, the domestic resource cost
ratio, nominal protection coefficients for outputs and inputs,
the effective protection coefficient, the private cost ratio,
the profitability coefficient, subsidy ratios, and social
cost-benefit ratios. Supports itemised farm budgets, parity
prices, grouped analysis, deterministic sensitivity analysis,
switching values, and correlated Monte Carlo simulation.
