The changing structure of production: Argentine agriculture 1988-2002

The agricultural sector of many countries shows increasing farm size with corresponding decrease in farm numbers. Despite abundant research, the determinants of these changes have not been clearly identified. This paper attempts to explain small firm survival in Argentine agriculture in the 1988 -20...

description The agricultural sector of many countries shows increasing farm size with corresponding decrease in farm numbers. Despite abundant research, the determinants of these changes have not been clearly identified. This paper attempts to explain small firm survival in Argentine agriculture in the 1988 -2002 period. The evidence suggests that labor market considerations, as well changing optimal size in response to production specialization are important factors affecting small-firm disappearance. In contrast, factor proportions (the K/L ratio) does not appear to have an impact on changes in firm size.
