title: 'agriEquity: Equity and Sustainability Assessment of Agricultural Subsidies'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: An integrated framework for evaluating whether agricultural support measures
  reach smallholders, women farmers and resource-poor regions, and at what productivity
  and environmental cost. It provides survey-weighted benefit incidence analysis by
  landholding class, gender, region or income quantile; concentration, Kakwani and
  Reynolds-Smolensky progressivity measures (Kakwani, 1977) <https://doi.org/10.2307/2230485>
  with bootstrap confidence intervals; multi-dimensional equity scorecards with parity
  ratios and Theil decomposition of benefit inequality; effects of subsidies on income
  inequality and Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty (Foster, Greer and Thorbecke, 1984)
  <https://doi.org/10.2307/1913475>; budget-neutral reallocation of a subsidy budget
  under alternative allocation rules, including a welfare-optimal allocation that
  combines diminishing productivity returns, Atkinson (1970) <https://doi.org/10.1016/0022-0531(70)90039-6>
  inequality aversion and environmental damage costs; and productivity-equity-sustainability
  trade-off frontiers. Simulated farm-household data illustrate the workflow.
