Agricultural Prices in a Changing Economy

An Empirical Study of Indian Agriculture

Munish Alagh

Agricultural Prices in a Changing Economy: An Empirical Study of Indian Agriculture by Munish Alagh examines whether Indian agriculture is moving towards a market-determined economy. The book explores how agricultural production and farmers' market behaviour have responded to changing price signals during a period of faster economic growth and liberalisation in India.

Grounded in agricultural economics theory, the study uses quantitative analysis of agricultural output, productivity and farmers' market behaviour to assess these changes. It also includes policy simulations to examine the implications of changing agricultural prices and market conditions. The book offers valuable insights for academics, economists and policymakers interested in agricultural markets and economic policy.
