Institutions and Agriculture in Transition Economics

在这项研究中，对决定农产品生产和销售绩效的因素进行了考察。根据对中亚和东欧和中欧数据的统计分析结果，得出了政策影响。以下是我们通过这一研究项目取得的成果。首先，我们的团队对现有的关于转型经济体农业发展主题的文献进行了调查。第二，从中亚、东欧和中欧获得了一组横截面数据，这些数据来自中亚、东欧和中欧。为了进行统计分析，建立了一个数据库。第三，通过回归分析确定了私营农场业绩差异的决定因素。我们发现，投入和产出市场的扭曲导致了转型经济体中农业生产者的非利润最大化行为。在对中亚经济体实施进一步的改革措施方面，政府的作用仍然很大，我们也论证了这一点。第五，在1999年日本农业经济协会会议、国际农场管理协会第12届大会、第7届欧洲农业经济学家协会会议和第23届国际农业经济学家协会大会上撰写和提交了研究论文。

In this study, factors determining the performance of agricultural productionand marketing have been examined. Policy implications were derived based upon the findings from statistical analyses of the data from Central Asia and Eastern and Central Europe. The followings are what we have achieved through this research project.First, our team surveyed the existing literature on the topics of agricultural development in transition economies. The fact that the difference in the extent of the liberalization of agricultural markets and privatization of production, marketing and processing organizations has produced a wide range of the diversity in the performance of agriculture was confirmed through our reviewSecond, a set of cross-sectional data was obtained from Central Asia, and Eastern and Central Europe. A database was created in order to perform statistical analyses.Third, determinants of the difference in the performance of private farms were identified using regression analyses. We found that distortions in input and output markets have been causing non-profit maximizing behavior of agricultural producers in transition economies. The government roles are still large to carry out further reform measures for Central Asian economies we also argued.Fourth, policy implications were derived from theseanalyses. The policy need for lowering market distortions was emphasized.Fifth, research papers were written and presented at the 1999 Agricultural Economics Association of Japan's meetings, the 12th Congress of the International Farm Management Association, the 7th European Association of Agricultural Economists conference and the 23^<rd> International Association of Agricultural Economists' congress.
