Resumen
Descripción
The paper investigates spatial changes in cultivation and land use of wheat, maize and oilseed
in Hungarian agriculture using different methods to measure these changes. The results suggest
that spatial structure of crop productions has remained fairly stable during analysed period. The
spatial concentration increased significantly for wheat and maize production and maize land
use, whilst the changes were not significant for other cases. Estimates confirm the presence of
spatial autocorrelation for all cases. The degree of spatial autocorrelation has no unambiguous
pattern over time, except for maize production. Finally, we have not found significant relationship
measured by PSE index between agricultural support and spatial concentration, but estimates
show positive and significant effects of the share of private farms in the production of certain
crops on spatial concentration.
