Labour Force Demand and Supply Developments of Romania’s Agriculture

As based on available data sets from the World Bank’s Yearbook(2008), a statistical analysis was made to highlight some characteristics of Romanian agriculture during 1961-2003. It is presented a series of models (Grabowski and Sivan (1986)) and econometric methods used to analyse supply and demand of the labour force in agriculture. This included an estimated regression model for analyzing the evolution of added value in agriculture during 1980-2003 according to a number of influencing factors.To characterize the concentration of agricultural production by development regions the Herfindahl Index was utilised.
