For this purpose, the relevant multipliers are derived using a Social Accounting Matrix (SAMs) framework that is known to be capable of describing certain structural features of an economy by capturing the interactions between various micro and macro accounts. Following a discussion on their theoretical derivation and decomposition, SAM multipliers are computed at two different levels of aggregation, and are used to investigate the effects of a switch to decoupled support to US farming on the US economy.viii, 56 leaves, tablesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSocial Accounting Matrix (SAM)SAM MultipliersSupport PoliciesUruguay RoundHD1761 .T56 1997Agriculture--Economic aspects--United States--Mathematical models.Agriculture and state--United States--Mathematical models.Matrices.Social accounting.Uruguay Round (1987-).Thesis
