THE EMPLOYMENT PROBLEM, AGRICULTURAL CHANGE, AND POLICY OBJECTIVES IN INDUSTRIALLY ADVANCED COUNTRIES
指出传统宏观经济学方法不足以解决工业发达国家的就业问题,提出就业政策需涵盖更广泛的激励、公共支出标准和投资决策,并探讨了农业部门的相关影响。
Traditional macroeconomic approaches to the employment problem are insufficient at the stage of development reached in the industrially advanced capitalist economies, and employment policy has to encompass a much wider range of incentives, public expenditure criteria, and investment decisions affecting all sectors of the economy. Implications for the agricultural sector are discussed. Employment and labour use are seen as inter‐related with other aspects of agricultural policy, including those concerned with agronomic and ecological problems. Performance criteria often adopted in evaluating agricultural change are called into question, and a reappraisal of cost concepts is found to raise some fundamental issues faced by industrially advanced societies.
