| The paper presents a model of the agro-food system in a transition economy, which shows how the move from a planned to a market economy affects the production and consumption of goods and economic welfare. The model is then used to identify two complementary approaches for measuring the success of agricultural transition, where success is defined as increasing consumer welfare. The first approach is to identify and measure quantitative indicators of economic gain. The second is to identify the policies that would lead to greater welfare, and then measure the extent to which these policies have been implemented. An assessment of Russian agricultural reform using the two evaluation approaches shows that only modest progress has been made. Russia has not met... |

| This study empirically investigates the effects of structural reforms on bilateral trade flows of agricultural products. Specifically, the study jointly analyzes the impacts of three different reforms including financial reform, trade reform, and agricultural reform on agricultural trade.

The evidence further indicates that the impacts of the reforms vary considerably across less aggregated products as well as across reform forms. The results provide a solid policy foundation for pursuing structural reforms in order to stimulate trade and economic growth, given the fact that the... |

| This paper provides an empirical analysis of adjustments of land use as a result of the conversion programme in the Swedish agricultural reform of 1990. The determinants of farmers' choice to voluntarily convert arable land to other uses and the share of land converted are analysed with the Heckman selection model. The results suggest that the decision to convert is significantly affected by a farmer's age, the size and location of the farm, the type of farming, and the macroeconomic situation in the region. Farm operators on farms highly specialised in grazing livestock and farmers on large farms were found to be more prone to convert. |
