Although some studies have addressed the issue of reduced crop productivity due to soil erosion, few have focused on the economic loss in terms of agricultural production and gross domestic product (GDP). In this study, soil erosion modellers and economists come together to carry out an economic evaluation of soil erosion in the European Union (EU). The study combines biophysical and macroeconomic models to estimate the cost of agricultural productivity loss due to soil erosion by water in the EU. The soil erosion rates, derived from the RUSLE2015 model, are used to estimate the loss in crop productivity (physical change in the production of plants) and to model their impact on the agricultural sector per country. A computable general equilibrium model is then used to estimate the impact of crop productivity change on agricultural production and GDP. The 12 million hectares of agricultural areas in the EU that suffer from severe erosion are estimated to lose around 0.43% of their crop productivity annually. The annual cost of this loss in agricultural productivity is estimated at around \u20ac1.25 billion. The computable general equilibrium model estimates the cost in the agricultural sector to be close to \u20ac300 million and the loss in GDP to be about \u20ac155 million. Italy emerges as the country that suffers the highest economic impact, whereas the agricultural sector in most Northern and Central European countries is only marginally affected by soil erosion losses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ldr.2879","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,10]],"date-time":"2018-01-10T07:55:29Z","timestamp":1515570929000},"page":"471-484","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":362,"title":["Cost of agricultural productivity loss due to soil erosion in the European Union: From direct cost evaluation approaches to the use of macroeconomic models"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1484-2738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Panos","family":"Panagos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Research Centre European Commission Ispra VA I\u201021027 Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4989-2201","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriele","family":"Standardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Euro\u2010Mediterranean Center on Climate Change Venice Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4767-5115","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pasquale","family":"Borrelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Geosciences University of Basel Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8947-352X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emanuele","family":"Lugato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Research Centre European Commission Ispra VA I\u201021027 Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Montanarella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Research Centre European Commission Ispra VA I\u201021027 Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8492-219X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"Bosello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Euro\u2010Mediterranean Center on Climate Change Venice Italy"},{"name":"Environmental Science and Policy University of Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749-6632.2010.05910.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3866403"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.catena.2003.07.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10021-007-9090-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4141\/cjss87-072"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tourman.2005.05.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"The global impact of soil erosion on productivity.
