 Farm structure in figures: A study in statistical methodologyKnut Medin and Bernt Wilson European Review of Agricultural Economics, 1973, vol. 1, issue 4, 461-481 Abstract: This paper is primarily concerned with the methodology of statistical studies of farm structure. A model of the farm as a basis for the statistical work is presented We also make some comments on the use of structural statistics as a foundation for the formulation and evaluation of agricultural policy programmes. In Sweden the basic source of information is a farm register, which was established in 1968 and, in the case of farms with arable land, is renewed annually. The register is designed and processed in such a way that each individual farm can be followed through time. An account is given of latitudinal and longitudinal studies based on this register. We also describe the use of farm register data in combination with population census data. ‘Marginal’ units are studied on the basis of tax-return data.
