“…This can partly be understood as a sign of the declining importance of this sector [25]. This emerging change is more pronounced in the countries joining the EU after 2004 [26]. The ongoing structural changes in agriculture (e.g., decline in agricultural land, change in the commodity structure of crop production, etc.)…”

Changes in Spatial Distribution of Arable Land, Crop Production and Yield of Selected Crops in the EU Countries after 2004

Agriculture is not a major economic sector in EU member states in terms of economy, however, crop production in particular is necessary for the nutrition of the population, and it is also crucial for its non-agricultural functions. The aim of this paper was to analyse the differentiation in the spatial distribution of arable land, and the development of production and yield per hectare of selected crops—cereals, oilseeds and potatoes in the EU countries as these are the main crops in the EU. The analysis of the crop production development based on the comparison of the EU member states for the period from 2004 to 2019 through the index of change was performed. The results show no clear changes in the crop production across the EU member states and the monitored 5 to 6-year periods; however, dynamics in the “new” member states entering the EU after 2004 are higher. Above all, significant regional geographical differences between individual EU states were found, which mainly reflect different natural conditions and prerequisites for agriculture, as well as differences in the historical and social development of individual countries.

“…At present, regional integration can be seen as an incomplete project, with limitations such as reduced intraregional trade, lack of coordination, and the existence of multiple simultaneous integration attempts following different approaches and ideological perspectives (Bárcena, Prado, Rosales, & Pérez, 2014;Bruslé, 2015;Benešová, Novotná, Šánová, & Laputková, 2016). Optimising and integrating the multiple initiatives that have been developed over the last 60 years, involving tens of agreements and over 15 national associations with a variety of supranational bureaucratic structures is imperative (Foxley, 2015).…”

Free Trade Agreements (FTA) have recently drawn public attention due to political populism, alter-globalisation, and tendencies to redefine economic ties, together with the stereotype of mismatching social perception and so-called 'expert knowledge'. Confronting this stereotype may contribute to better understanding of FTA controversies and identify possible vulnerability sources at the policy implementation level. Research Design & Methods: To analyse FTA impact, meta-analysis of the literature research results was performed using the sample of eight Spanish language papers. We included models in which natural logarithm of a trade measure was regressed on FTA dummy variable with other explanatory variables following Viechtbauer (2010). Findings: With FTA dummy variable increased trade can have its sources both in trade creation and trade diversion. Also, the endogeneity issue might result in overestimation of the effect, as countries that trade more are more likely to establish a FTA. Weighted least squares fixed effects models at both the study and the model level support this notion. Unweighted least squares models for Spanish language papers are the only ones where the positive effect of FTA is not statistically significant. Implications & Recommendations: Spanish language literature gives a lot of support to the notion that FTAs are associated with higher trade. However, the exact size of the effect can be brought to question. Contribution & Value Added: Public opinion in South America seems quite supportive for FTA and economic integration. Meta-analysis results confirm positive FTA effects, supporting its use as a convincing argument for further integration.

“…This transformation can be linked to the growth of innovations and the use of new technologies that increased the productivity and effectiveness in the agricultural sector as a whole. (Bednaříková, 2012;Benešová et al, 2016) The transition from one system to other significantly impacted various areas of economic life of countries, the agriculture and food sectors included.

Input-output tables are a simple tool, used for studying the structure of economies or sectors' demand and supply linkages. The aim of this paper is to present and compare the main characteristics of 2 selected sectors in V4 countries, namely the agriculture and food sectors. The analysis is based on the input output coefficients and multipliers, used for studying input, output and import relationships. These analyses can reveal ongoing structural changes what represents an interesting topic especially for former transition economies. The objective is to verify the similarities in the position and the development of these sectors, to examine backward and forward linkages and their strength in order to identify key sectors and to measure possible concentrations of their impacts. With accordance to the previous research and general trends, we expected certain decline of importance over the period 2000-2014, especially in terms of production, employment but also in overall effects on the whole economy. This was mostly confirmed with the exception of Polish data that point out to relatively stronger domestic position of both sectors. The presented results were obtained within the Research Project VEGA/1/0961/16
