This book was released on 1995 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of off-farm income in most farm households today raises important income maintenance and welfare issues, including the effects of proposed agricultural and non-agricultural policies on the division between farm and off-farm work. This report specifies a model of farm household behaviour and income determination that reflects these modern issues. It then considers how that model may be used to assess the implications of alternative income support policies on the distribution of income among farm households. Three generic policies are considered: price support policies, income support policies, and a guaranteed annual income for farm households. Appendices review examples of targeted income support and income stabilization for farm families.

This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1985, the U.S. Congress confronted the difficult and complex task of developing a 5-year omnibus legislation allowing for lower commodity prices. But, policies predicated on the concept of agriculture as a unique sector of the economy became less and less appropriate to the highly interdependent, open agricultural economy throughout the 1980s. First published in 1985, this collection of 16 papers and related discussions contained in these proceedings is an important contribution toward understanding the issues, options, and dilemmas in U.S. agricultural policy. This is an ideal title for students interested in environmental studies, agriculture, and national policy.

Book excerpt: This study measures the variability in real net farm income in the U.S. agricultural sector and per farm and determines if variability has diminished over 1933 to 1999.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the paper is to compare the major institutional mechanisms of farm income stabilization (market, government, civil society) in order to find out how the mutual substitution of the mechanisms can serve to overcome their limitations. The major identified limitations include: for the market mechanism - opportunism and poor insurability of systemic risks; for the government mechanism - opportunistic behavior of recipients of farm income stabilization services, agency problems in the implementation of public programs, high potential for bureaucratization and excessive complexity of insurance programs. The incentive problems of the civil society mechanism mainly do not include those that are characteristic for both markets and governments. However, this mechanism possesses problems specific to cooperative organizations. These problems have been shown to originate from high social capital-dependence of the civil society mechanism, which means that while these problems are able to significantly increase transaction costs of civil society mechanism, the actual size of these transaction costs depends on the availability of social capital in the respective communities. The economic context of transition to market has been shown to create additional constraints on market and government mechanisms and opportunities for the civil society mechanism. The optimal role of the government therefore is to invest in social capital in order to reduce the transaction costs of the civil society mechanism.
