This year’s meeting set out to strengthen and enlarge the REECAP community...
We were pleased to share news last year of Osnabruck researcher Thomas Rellensmann receiving an award for his project research design at REECAP 2023.
Thomas and his collagues recently returned to REECAP 2024. This year’s meeting, held at the Universidad de Córdoba from the 24th-26th September, set out to strengthen and enlarge the REECAP community and disseminate research and policy advice in the field of agricultural policy. Members enjoyed presentations from the fields of behavioural and experimental agricultural economics focused on CAP or related food systems policies, and FRAMEwork researchers Moritz Fritschle and Thomas Rellensmann from University of Osnabrück (UO) were on hand to make an important contribution to these conversations.
The Research Network on Economic Experiments for the Common Agricultural Policy (REECAP) is an EU-wide network founded in 2017 to contribute to the improvement of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Their annual meeting brings together researchers, evaluators and policy makers interested in the use of economic experimental approaches for more evidence-based policy design and evaluation.
Having presented their work at LANDSCAPE 24 earlier in the month to a broader audience that included ecologists, geographers and political scientists, Moritz and Thomas now had the opportunity to speak to a specialist group of experimental economists focusing on agricultural issues. Sharing research with a diverse range of audiences in this way is a hallmark of FRAMEwork’s approach, expanding the real-world impact our insights can have.
Speaking to us fresh from the conference, Moritz said:
“The presentation of our FRAMEwork research work to other agricultural and experimental economists who also deal with the European Union and the CAP was a great opportunity to once again exchange ideas with experts in the research field. In particular, discussions on methodological issues were once again at the centre of attention at the REECAP Conference.”

Moritz’s presentation was titled:"Farmer Identity influence on Farmers' Choices Between Public and Private Agri-Environmental Contracts". Thomas’s presentation was titled "Do result-based payments work better for groups? An experiment with German farmers".
Next year’s REECAP has already been announced for 2nd-5th June 2025 in Leipzig, Germany.
