A modellezés eredményei szerint a belföldi vásárlóerő növekedését a termelés alig képes bővüléssel követni a nyomott árak miatt. A nagyobb fogyasztást az import elégíti ki. Ahol gazdaságilag indokolt lenne a termelés növelése, ott ezt különféle korlátok...

A paradigma fogalmát (a korábbi nyelvészetinél) szélesebb értelemben Thomas Samuel Kuhn amerikai fizikus és tudománytörténész vezette be „A tudományos forradalmak szerkezete†c., 1962-ben megjelent művében. Ezt a könyvet a XX. század legvitatottabb, ugyanakkor szűkebb...

In Germany agricultural land use is very heterogeneous with respect to management orientation and productivity even at local level. Also the rate of structural change shows a wide variation. While for a limited number of factors (e.g. farm size) a stable relation to structural change could be...

Selected Paper prepared for presentation at the Agricultural & Applied Economics Association's 2012 AAEA Annual Meeting, Seattle, Washington, August 12-14, 2012. This research was supported by a cooperative agreement with U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Economic Research Service. We thank...

En este trabajo se exponen los cambios occuridos en la agricultura colombiana entre los anos de 1980 y 2005, detallando la evolucion de la distribucion de la propiedad rural, del uso del suelo y de la orientacion productiva. El analisis confirma la persistencia de los procesos de concentracion...

The aim of this paper to determine how structure and governance in the dairy sector in four different regions in the European Union alter as a result of the change in EU’s dairy policy. For this purpose two models of structural change are developed and interviews are held. Results differ...

The development of multi-agent models for agriculture has allowed the inclusion of farm decision-making behaviour and interactions in the simulation of smaller agricultural regions. Important methodological impact for this has come in particular from scientists from Germany. Currently under...

We apply a spatial price equilibrium model of the world sugar market to simulate an abolishment of the EU quota system in 2015/16. To overcome the normative nature of the approach, we calibrate the model by attaching a non-linear cost term to each trade flow. This is in some regards similar to...

European agriculture has been characterized by a shift in structure towards larger farms with less labour employed. Within the current article we investigate the case of Flanders, a region in Belgium, and try to define what the sectoral shifts of labour and land have been in the past. Thereby we...
