英文文献：The 1996 Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act: Correcting a Distortion?-1996年联邦农业改进和改革法案:纠正扭曲?这项研究利用来自农业普查的农场层面的数据来评估1996年联邦农业改进和改革(公平)法案的效果，该法案旨在将商品支付与生产决策“脱钩”

英文文献摘要：
This study makes use of farm-level data from the Agricultural Census to evaluate the effects of the 1996 Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform (FAIR) Act, which intended to "decouple" commodity payments from production decisions. Prior to this Act, agricultural support payments were linked to production decisions via prices and a complex set of restrictions that acted to control the supply of agricultural commodities. We compare farm-level 1992-to-1997 changes in commodity crop plantings of farms that participated in government programs with farms that did not participate. We find that the growth rate of program-crop acreage of non-participants was 19 percentage points below that of participants. This estimated difference remains unchanged after we account for unobserved effects relating to farm size, type, location, and interactions of these factors using over 1900 fixed-effects variables. These results may imply that program participation rules associated with pre-1996 programs effectively acted to limit program acreage in 1992. An alternative explanation is that payments associated with decoupled programs instituted with the 1996 Act were in fact distortionary and induced farmers to produce more than they would have without the payments. Additional research would be needed to test these competing theories.
在此之前，农业补贴通过价格和一套复杂的限制措施与生产决策挂钩，以控制农业商品的供应。我们比较了1992- 1997年间参与政府项目的农场和未参与政府项目的农场的商品作物种植变化。我们发现，非参与者的计划作物种植面积增长率比参与者低19个百分点。在考虑了与农场规模、类型、位置以及使用1900多个固定效应变量相关的未观察到的影响后，这一估计差异保持不变。这些结果可能暗示，与1996年以前的项目相关的项目参与规则在1992年有效地限制了项目的面积。另一种解释是，与1996年法案所制定的脱钩项目相关的补贴实际上是扭曲的，导致农民比没有补贴时生产更多的粮食。需要更多的研究来验证这些相互矛盾的理论。
