The underlying concept of the study is that a market economy can only operate if there are certain rules of the game and, in particular, that property rights have to be defined and there have to be mechanisms that will credibly enforce them. A well working institutional framework guarantees these rights by enforcing them against violation. This study identifies institutional factors that inhibit structural improvements in Polish farming sector when resources allocation is considered. The study observes that institutional incentives faced both in the land and labour market have important implications for the land structure. Additionally, the study finds that, rural households have not moved away from farming because of the incentives to hold onto small agriculture plots and because of the high costs of formal employment outside agriculture
