An Input-Output Approach to the Study of the Flow of Funds to Agricultural Capital Markets

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1969, vol. 1, issue 1, 21-26

Abstract: Agriculture is experiencing an increasing reliance on commercial and governmental sources of capital in order to finance the adoption of new technology and the organizational changes made necessary by that technology. If this trend progresses, it is reasonable to suppose that the interdependence of flows of funds to the farm sector with flows to other sectors will become greater and will become a more important consideration in matters of farm credit policy. In a recent paper, Lee has called for further research into the implications of changes in the financial structure of the farm sector, among them the growth of alternative sources of funds and the changing roles of major lending groups. It is the intent of this paper to suggest a procedure through which the financing of the farm sector can be analyzed as one of a number of economic sectors which are financially interrelated.
