摘要
Reallocation of agricultural labor during transition differs widely between regions and countries. Our analysis shows that agricultural labor reallocation in Poland is determined by: (a) the dramatic adjustment of prices and production costs caused by price liberalization and subsidy cuts; (b) regional differences in farm organization and the impact of institutional reforms on these organizations; (c) structural problems constraining intersectoral mobility. The latter limit the benefits from the institutional reforms. Long-term efficiency gains and sustainable rural development are conditional upon reducing such structural constraints and improving the functioning of the labor market.
