Alternative procedures for estimating the size distribution of farms [New York; USA].

1980

Stavins R.N. | Stanton B.F.

Extract: The objective of this study was to examine some of the newer methods of forecasting changes in dairy farm size distribution and ascertain the gains, if any, associated with these methods. Different formulations using Markov processes were compared with simple trend analyses and various functional forms in making projections. A systematic, randomized list sample of 1,000 farms, stratified by counties and by entry and exit behavior, was drawn from 14,272 farms in a twenty-county area of New York State.
