Abstract

Az állami beavatkozás a mezőgazdaságban általános jelenségnek tekinthető. A tradicionális agrárpolitikai modellek a jóléti közgazdaságtan eszközeivel arra a kérdésre keresik a választ, hogy a különféle bel- és külpiaci intervenciók alkalmazása mekkora holtteher-veszteségekkel jár a társadalom szempontjából. Az agrárpolitika politikai gazdaságtana viszont az új intézményi közgazdaságtan eredményeit felhasználva, a ténylegesen működő agrárpolitikai gyakorlatot, valamint annak döntéshozatali folyamatait igyekszik megérteni. A tanulmány első részében bemutatjuk, hogy az érdekcsoportok tevékenységének bekapcsolása a hagyományos agrárpolitikai modellekbe miképpen változtatja meg annak korábbi pozitív és normatív eredményeit. Megvizsgáljuk továbbá, hogy a kormányzati politikák modellezésére alkalmazott új elemzési eszközök - a többlettranszformációs görbe, a politikaipreferencia-függvény - miként járulnak hozzá a valóságban működő agrárpolitika jobb megértéséhez, illetve a normatív ajánlások megalapozásához.
