What are BATModel
objectives?
The overarching aim of BATModel is to improve the modelling of agri-food trade policies in existing tools and approaches by capturing both the characteristics of agri-food trade and the trade policy measures specific to the agri-food sector.
These improvements will also provide new detailed insights into the impacts such as the distribution of gains and losses of trade agreements between and within member states, sectors and agents.
To achieve these aims, BATModel will develop deep collaboration and foster joint work between the modelling and econometric communities.

1.
To extend and improve existing simulation models for the analysis of agri-food trade policies
2.
To improve the representation of important agri-food trade features
3.
To design and provide a new toolbox of modules to analyse trade policy measures such as NTMs and GIs consistently
4.
To ensure that the model improvements achieved in BATModel can be used in a modular way in multiple well established trade models
5.
To thoroughly test the improved and extended models in policy-relevant applications to deliver operational modular modelling tools to scholars and practitioners for quantitative policy analyses
6.
To better address societal concerns with regard to employment, working conditions, health and income distribution
7.
To develop methodologies and related indicators to assess the (positive and negative) impacts of international agri-food trade policies on societal challenges
8.
To share and discuss the approaches and findings of the project with research communities
About
BATModel
16 organizations and research institutes from 11 EU countries are participating in a four-year study called BATModel, which aims to create better cross border agricultural trade models than has been the case so far, thus helping decision-makers to achieve better multilateral and regional agreements.
This project aims to address the shortcomings of current modeling tools.The models so far can basi- cally be divided into two groups: one uses a theoreti- cal approach, while the other uses a data-based approach. By combining the results of these two trends, new types of models can be created that will lead to more efficient trade agreements, both at EU level and at the level of individual countries and even companies and will provide greater security and predictability for cooperating parties.
