Abstract: Simulation studies play an important role in predicting the effects of agri-environmental policies. Management plans for the Water Framework Directive, for example, show how policy measures can be based on both the absolute effects and the probability of the achievement of objectives. Here, comprehensive uncertainty analysis is a valuable modern tool.
