FOR 986: Structural change in agriculture (SiAg)
This research unit takes a fresh look on structural change in agriculture in developed economies. The overall objective is the refinement, the extension and the integration of existing concepts, theories and instruments that facilitate the analysis of economic adjustment processes in the agricultural sector. With these tools at hand, a broader and clearer view of structural change can be derived that yields an improved understanding of causal relationships between entrepreneurial decisions, political instruments, and exogenous factors. A deeper understanding of these causalities, however, is an indispensable requirement for assessing and predicting structural change as well as for governing structural change in terms of economic, environmental, and social objectives. It is convenient to distinguish theoretical and methodological objectives on the one hand and applied objectives on the other hand.
