Popis: | the general price level. As Samuelson and others point out, the problem with inflation is not so much price increases, but rather the inefficiencies and inequities that result from inflation-induced changes in relative prices. Relative price changes affect supply-demand relationships for both factor and product markets. Changes in these relationships in turn influence the level and distribution of income, asset values, cash flows, debt, net worth, and structural characteristics of farm firms. The objective of this paper is to provide a broad overview of inflation's impact on the financial performance and structure of the farm sector. |
