CONTENTS
Preface vii
Last of Tables xv
List of Figures xix
PART I ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND AGRICULTURE
I Agriculture in a Developing Economy 3
By way of classification and procedure Four elementary representa
tions of developments related to agriculture A population increase,
an increase in income, a new technique employed by consuming units,
and a new output-increasing agricultural technique
II Three Sets of Demand and Supply Shifts 15
Equal rates of shifts to the right Demand for farm products in the
forefront Supply of farm products out ahead
III Focal Points and Conditions Affecting Long-term Shifts of
the Demand 21
Focal points of demand for farm products Conditions affecting long
term shifts of the demand Some pitfalls in ascertaining shifts in de
mand for farm products Shifts in demand of selected farm commodi
ties, 1875 to 1929
IV Population Still Uncoiling 30
Relevant population and food aggregates High food drain (Type I),
intermediate food drain (Type II), and low food drain (Type III)
The population variable in relation to the food economy Population
as a within variable and as an outside variable Some demand effects
of Types I and II Population growth and United States agriculture
V Gauging the Relevant Income Elasticities 44
Income elasticity—an appeal of cross-sectional data Income elasticity
—use of time series Clues from consumer studies of consumption of
food over time An evaluation of income elasticity estimates Income
elasticity of farm products from Tintner’s model Clues from crude
expenditures for farm products Income elasticity of services added to
xi
farm products Income elasticities of particular food groups Classifi
cation of industries The rise in the level of income
VI Effects of Nutrition upon Demand and Supply
Increasing the efficiency of food: supply effects Demand effects of
nutrition Correcting nutritional imbalances
VII Gauging the New and Better Production Possibilities
Changes in the supplies of inputs Outcome with 1946-1948 input
prices and outcome with 1910-1914 input prices New and better
production techniques Industry and agriculture compared “Produc
ing” and distributing new techniques Agricultural research: expend
itures and returns Gauging the value of the inputs saved 1910
techniques for 1950 production 1940 techniques for 1950 production
Labor force and its distribution
VIII The Declining Economic Importance of Agricultural Land
Agriculture relative to the whole economy Relative position of land
as an input in producing farm products Land as an economic
variable
IX Divergencies in Economic Development Related to Location
A hypothesis Implications of hypothesis
X Income Disparity among Communities and Economic
Development
Simplifying empirical propositions Economic development can bring
about increasing disparity in income Conditions related to the increas
ing disparity in income Proportion of population that contributes to
income Conditions that determine the abilities of a population to
produce Conditions that impede factor-price equalization
PART II ECONOMIC INSTABILITY AND AGRICULTURE
XI Conditions Underlying the Economic Instability of
Agriculture
Hypothesis explaining the price instability of agriculture Shifts that
are large Elasticities that are relatively low
XII Yield Instability
Fluctuations in yield by location The Pacific region is placid The
turbulent West Central regions, both North and South Location of
yield instability in the United States Fluctuations in yield by
products
Contents xiu
XIII Stability of Agricultural Inputs and Production 209
Stability of production inputs in agriculture Stability attributes of
r farm production Divergencies between agricultural inputs and
production
XIV Producer Supply during the Stock Period 231
The concept of the stock period By way of explanation Backward
sloping supply schedule, vertical supply schedule, and forward-
i sloping supply schedule Data and some inferences Income effects—
the farm household A poor community—the case of India; and a
rich community—the case of the United States Substitution—the farm
household and business Substitution zero, substitution small and price
elasticity low, substitution important to the household but unimportant
in relation to the aggregate producer supply, and subsitution effected
by the farm business Results that emerge
PART III ECONOMIC ORGANIZATION FOR DEVELOPMENT
AND STABILITY
XV Economic Activities to Be Organized 249
Propositions about economic organization Classifications of activities
to be organized Firm and household units Product and factor mar
kets Political and social integrating processes
XVI Economic Organization: Possibilities and Preferences 255
Two case studies “Producing” new and better techniques Producing
farm products Some general attributes Preferences related to eco-
; nomic development New combinations of “organization” and “prod
uct ” Economic development and some other social adjustments
Distribution of income
XVII Organizing Agriculture for Economic Development 269
Some general concepts and assumptions Rating the desired decentral
ization Organization to induce economic development Techniques,
information, and capital Organization to adjust to economic develop
ment Structural and locational attributes of economic development
Periphery and center compared
CVIII Factor Markets and Economic Development 283
Labor market serving agriculture Functioning of the labor market;
relative earnings of workers, an international comparison, and low-
output farms in the United States Improving the labor market:
economic information, funds to help people migrate, and investments
in human agents Capital market serving agriculture Functioning of
the capital market Improving the capital market: financial continu
ity, substitution of property for children, particular measures to in
crease income, uncertainty considerations—the case for forward prices,
xiv Contents
more complete information, and farm enlargement programs Land
reform
XIX Organizing Agriculture for Economic Stability 321
No marked short-term movements in the employment of resources in
agriculture Yield instability in farming Functioning of the economy
in relation to yield instability Improvements in organization to cope
with yield instability Organization to adjust to yield instability
XX Organization for Price Stability 335
Reducing the instability of farm prices War and peace with less
economic instability Gradual and small versus abrupt and large shifts
of the demand Reducing the variations in agricultural production
Increasing the price elasticity of the supply Increasing the price
elasticity of the demand for farm products Ry way of accommoda
tions Organize farms more capable of coping with price instability
Safeguarding income of agriculture in depression Possibilities by
storage
