Crop sales, shortages and peasant portfolio behaviour: An analysis of Angola
分析了1970年代至1980年代安哥拉农作物销售下降90%的原因,重点考察了非经济因素(战争、干旱)和管制变化导致的消费品短缺对农民销售行为的影响,对研究短缺经济下农民供给反应有参考价值。
The article focuses on the influence of economic factors on sales of agricultural products in Angola. Between the early 1970s and the mid-1980s the volume of sales declined by around 90 percent, while during the late 1980s there was a significant recovery. This was partly due to non-economic factors such as war and drought. However, the rural economy also experienced extraordinary regulatory changes which led to a severe shortage of consumer goods. The theory of peasant supply response in a rationed economy therefore provides a starting point for the analysis and is further extended to incorporate features particular to Angola.
