PreDaBa: a tool for developing price scenarios

The assessment of future development of Swiss agricultural market prices and input costs serves as a basis for generating scenarios. However, often comparability between studies is difficult due to a lack of details about the assumptions. The Institute for Agricultural Economics has developed a database PreDaBa to generate scenarios based on comparable assumptions. The Basisszenario IAW constitutes a starting point to create scenarios adapted to user’s needs by modifying the assumptions.
