摘要:A survey of agricultural price and trade policy instruments of Central Europeancountries since the beginning of economic transition indicates several similar patternsof instrument choice among the transition economies. We find that the common patternof agricultural policy choices in Central European countries mirrors many importantfeatures of the Western European experience. In addition, we also find that free tradeassociations and international agreements have and will increasingly limit the set ofagricultural price and trade policy instruments available to governments.
