Financial Intermediation in Agriculture: A Suggested Analytical Model*

Peter J. Barry and John A. Hopkin

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1972, vol. 4, issue 1, 179-183

Abstract: Money and capital markets exist to provide an exchange system for debt and equity instruments-money substitutes with time dimensions. This financial intermediation process is a two-way flow. The funds-flow originates with savers and terminates with the ultimate borrowers or users of the saved funds. The securities flow originates with ultimate borrowers and ends with primary savers. In addition to savers and borrowers, the principal participants are the financial intermediaries: those firms in which (a) claims on and to others dominate among assets and liabilities and (b) economic activities center upon the purchase and sale of such claims.
