Opis

This volume deals with the economics of agricultural products after they leave the farm. It includes developments in application of dual approaches in household economies, the industrial organization of food marketing, marketing margins between farm and retail prices, and spatial price analysis.

Recenzje

...My overall impression from this Handbook is that agricultural economics research is relatively dynamic, high-quality, wide-ranging and policy-relevant. The chapters summarised here not only highlight the main issues addressed and methodologies used by agricultural economists but also identify the benchmarks for high-quality research in these areas.
