CAPRI (provider:JRC-IES-CCU) [+]Topic: economy;environment;farming;
Extent Name: EU27 at NUTS2; globally world regions;
Description: CAPRI is a partial equilibrium model for the agricultural sector developed for policy impact assessment of the Common Agricultural Policy and trade policies from global to regional scale with a focus on the EU.
Main features (see concept:
Comparative partial static equilibrium model, solved by iterating supply and market modules
Supply module: separate, regional, non-linear programming models allowing to directly implement most policy measures with highly differentiated set of activities. Allocation based on profit maximising behaviour calibrated to exogeneous elasticities (animals) and estimated multi-product cost functions (annual crops); provision of nutrient balances and gas emissions with global warming potential based on production system. Template approach with structurally identical models which differ in parametrization. Cover completely EU agriculture (280 regional models or 1.900 farm type models) Market module: global spatial multi-commodity Model. 28 trade blocks and 60 countries. Flexible and well-behaved functional forms. Armington assumption to model bi-lateral trade flows. Tariff Rate Quotas and preferential agreements. Subsidised exports and market interventions Equilibrium ensures cleared markets for products and young animals, match of feeding requirements of national herds Welfare analysis, rich set of economic and environmental indiactors Spatial downscaling of crop shares, yields, stocking densities, fertilizer application rates to 150.000 Homogenous Soil Mapping Units (cluster of 1x1 km grid cells) for EU27 and link to bio-physical model DNDC-EUROPE
Technically, CAPRI is realised in GAMS and steered by a Graphical User Interface realised in Java |

CORINE Land Cover (provider:EEA) [+]Topic: imageryBaseMapsEarthCover;
Extent Name: Europe
Description: The CORINE land cover database provides a pan-European inventory of biophysical land cover, using a 44 class nomenclature. It is made available on a 250m by 250m grid database which has been aggregated from the original vector data at 1:100 000. |
Corine Land Cover for NCU [+]Topic: imageryBaseMapsEarthCover;
Extent Name: EU27 (excluded Cyprus and Malta)
Description: NitroEurope Classification Units are multipart polygons sharing the same administrative unit (NUTS2 or NUTS3), the same soil (SGDB classification), the same slope data (CCM DEM 250 in five classes) and a similar difference from the DEM height (less than or equal to 200m). CORINE land cover 2000 (CLC2000) has been resampled at 1x1 km and reclassified with a 2-digit code. Since Corine is lacking Norway and Switzerland, land cover information has been integrated from the PELCOM database |
The
mission of the JRC is to provide customer-driven scientific and
technical support for the conception, development, implementation and
monitoring of EU policies. As a service of the European Commission, the
JRC functions as a reference centre of science and technology for the
Union. Close to the policy-making process, it serves the common
interest of the Member States, while being independent of special
interests, whether private or national.
