agriEquity: Equity and Sustainability Assessment of Agricultural Subsidies

An integrated framework for evaluating whether agricultural support measures reach smallholders, women farmers and resource-poor regions, and at what productivity and environmental cost. It provides survey-weighted benefit incidence analysis by landholding class, gender, region or income quantile; concentration, Kakwani and Reynolds-Smolensky progressivity measures (Kakwani, 1977) <doi:10.2307/2230485> with bootstrap confidence intervals; multi-dimensional equity scorecards with parity ratios and Theil decomposition of benefit inequality; effects of subsidies on income inequality and Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty (Foster, Greer and Thorbecke, 1984) <doi:10.2307/1913475>; budget-neutral reallocation of a subsidy budget under alternative allocation rules, including a welfare-optimal allocation that combines diminishing productivity returns, Atkinson (1970) <doi:10.1016/0022-0531(70)90039-6> inequality aversion and environmental damage costs; and productivity-equity-sustainability trade-off frontiers. Simulated farm-household data illustrate the workflow.
