Abstract: Using an approach based on the PSE/CSE methodology, this paper estimates the distribution of benefits due to the CAP among the EU member states and the impact on them of a CAP partial re‐nationalisation scenario under the current policy mix as well as under full decoupling. Currently, Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Spain and France are found to benefit from the operation of the CAP. Full decoupling increases the benefits to these countries and the losses of Germany and the UK, while it decreases the losses of some others. Re‐nationalisation benefits today's losers, particularly Germany. Overall, the CAP is found to promote cohesion among EU member states, especially when moving closer to full decoupling. Partial re‐nationalisation decreases the CAP effect on cohesion.
