Economic Impact of Public Support to Agriculture

From the reviews: "This volume originated from a conference organised by the US Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service (ERS) and the International Association of Agro-Food Systems in June 2008. ... the volume contributions come predominantly from US-based authors. European agricultural economists may find the methodologies used in some of the US papers of interest in suggesting techniques that might be applicable to EU data."
