What patterns can be discerned in the distribution of farm sizes across countries and over time? How does the behavior of individual economic agents interact with the natural environment and general economic development to affect farm size? How has concerted human intervention, understood as national and supranational policy actions, altered these ...

Farm Size and the Distribution of Farm Numbers
1971Size-of-farm data for 1964 were fitted to the function In Y =In a·bX Results showed that the percentage distribution of farms by size classes tends to follow the distribution of an inverse exponential function. Furthermore, empirical size distributions seem to have an underlying stability across time and geographic areas.
