Resumen
Descripción
This paper examines the motivations underlying the government's choice of particular policy mechanisms for subsidizing agriculture. The analysis suggests that policies involving overproduction by relatively high-cost producers might arise from the perceived connection between the existence of relatively inefficient farm operations, and the preservation or sustainability of rural communities.
