Growth and equity in agricultural development: A survey of the 18 the International Conference of Agricultural Economists, Jakarta, Indonesia, August 24 to September 2, 1982
综述1982年国际农业经济学家会议，探讨农业发展中增长与公平的权衡问题，发现多数情况下二者无冲突，但存在权衡时优先促进增长，因增长是政府实现公平目标的前提。
The theme of the 18th International Conference of Agricultural Economists held in Jakarta/Indonesia in 1982 was ‘growth and equity in agricultural development’. The central problem of the conference, which was extensively discussed in general, as well as in very detailed or applied papers, centred around the question of whether or not a trade-off between growth and equity might occur and, if so in what situations this might be the case and what should be done if growth negatively affects equity. The general trend of the papers presented during the conference was that there is very often no trade-off between growth and equity. In some cases, however, when a trade-off exists it is preferable to enhance growth rather than inhibit it, because growth is a necessary prerequisite for governments in order to finance measures which could achieve equity goals. This is especially true as far as technical progress is concerned. Another generally accepted finding was that measures of agricultural policy which influence the price relations not only cause welfare losses but also very often show adverse effects on distribution, and are thus jeopardizing to both growth and equity.
