L'évolution de la dispersion des revenus dans la région limoneuse belge

J.-F. Sneessens

Économie rurale, 1978, vol. 125

Abstract: This article analyses the evolution of the ditribution of income between farmers during the period 1962-1974. Its objective is to determine the significance of this evolution, its importance and to give an explanation for it. The explanatory factors that have been retained describe the evolution of the technical production conditions and the prices policy implemented by the authorities. The statistics used are made up of accounts from a sampling of farms situated in the Belgian silt region. The distribution of income is measured by a variation coefficient. Its evolution is explained by the multiple regression method. The results of the analysis show that between the first stage (1962-63-64) and the final stage (1972-73- 74) the prices policy has distinctly reduced the evolution of the distribution of incomes while the changes in the technical production conditions tended to increase it. The variation between incomes finally was reduced by 10,10 %. This proves the egalitarian role that a prices policy can play in farming.
