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. Methods follow Monke and Pearson (1989, ISBN:0801419530) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2007, ISBN:9789251057476).
