Gains and withdraws of using several methods to value the degree of land concentration

Abstract

The paper presents a comparative analysis of three ways to value the degree of modernization of agrarian structures. Three different methods of numeric valuation of agrarian structures are utilized: the average size of agricultural exploitation, the Gini concentration coefficient and the concentration coefficient of the surface in large size exploitations. It is proved that the first two methods may be complementary and only the third characterizes the modernization degree of agrarian structures in an impartial mode.
