SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book provides an overview of the evolution of distortions to agricultural incentives caused by price and trade policies in the World Bank-defined region of Europe and Central Asia (in which Europe refers to Central and Eastern Europe). It includes commissioned country and subregional studies of the 10 transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe that joined the European Union in 2004 or 2007, of seven other large member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, and of Turkey. Together these 18 countries account for 89 percent of the region's agricultural value added, 91 percent of the population, and 95 percent of total gross domestic product. The country studies are preceded by an introduction and overview chapter and are followed by an appendix that provides information on the methodology used to measure the nominal and relative rates of assistance to farmers and of taxes and subsidies related to food consumption"--Acknowledgments.
