title = "Dundee Discussion Papers in Economics 147: CAP reform and the distribution of farming income in Scotland",
abstract = "This paper explores the redistributive impact of Common Agricultural Policy reform with reference to the distribution of farming incomes in Scotland. A measure of redistribution is proposed that is based on the change in the absolute value of the Gini coefficient and which is valid even though average pre-support farming incomes would be negative. The distribution of support is found to have exacerbated the inequality of farm incomes in Scotland in 1999/00. Moreover, the changes envisaged in the current reform process would have had virtually no effect on this negative redistributive outcome",
