A recursive dynamic linear programming farm-level model to simulate the structural change in the arable production system of a Greek region
Structural change is integral to evolving economies (Goddard et al., 1993). Although increased agricultural productivity has allowed the release of resources needed by other sectors of the economy, structural change in agriculture usually has a negative connotation in public debate (Balmann and Valentinov, 2016). There are mainly two types of public concern about structural change in agriculture, with the former expressed as “dying peasants†and the latter as “factory farming†(Balmann and Valentinov, 2016).
