Abstract

Abstract The main topic of the paper is an explanation of the level of agricultural protection in industrialized countries and middle income countries. Concerning this, empirical regression models are presented in order to identify political and economic determinants of the level of agricultural protection in a country. These models are based on a cross-section of several OECD-countries. In this context, the theory of the political economy of agricultural policy is also considered. Apparently, several exogenous variables have an impact on the amount of support transfers to the agricultural sector, such as structure of exports, level of urbanisation and proportion of agricultural employees in total number of employees
