Marian BOŽÍK
Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2011, 57(1):10-20 | DOI: 10.17221/146/2010-AGRICECON
The paper deals with the analysis of the proposals of the European Union Common Agricultural Policy reform (the EU CAP) after 2013 and modelling forecast of its impacts on Slovak agriculture. The behaviour of business entities in agriculture is significantly influenced by the current support scheme and the level of support within the EU CAP but also by market conditions. The impacts of the particular scenarios on the changes of production indicate that Slovak agriculture will approach just slowly the 2008 production level. This will be decisively influenced by the price development. Despite of this, it is evident that the most favourable result can...

S. Buchta
Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2011, 57(1):21-26 | DOI: 10.17221/141/2010-AGRICECON

Volatility of agrarian markets aimed at the price development
Dagmar Matošková
Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2011, 57(1):35-40 | DOI: 10.17221/143/2010-AGRICECON
Significant price volatility has been observed at the world agri-food markets in these latter years. It has been caused by the triggers of the so-called market shocks that negatively influenced the stability of supply and demand of agri-food commodities. The contribution analyzes the causes of the price volatility incidence, it calls attention to the potential jeopardy of the price volatility transmission on the territory of Slovakia and it finds appropriate measures for its elimination. The price volatility of the Slovak agri-food commodities was reviewed pursuant to the variation coefficient calculation in three consecutive five-year intervals.

Jozef GÁLIK
Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2011, 57(1):41-46 | DOI: 10.17221/142/2010-AGRICECON
The contribution is aimed at changes in the foreign trade of the Slovak Republic with agricultural and food products from 2004. The attention was paid to mutual relations of the imported and exported agricultural products. The contribution was supplemented by the comparison of the SR agri-food trade performance with the other EU member countries. To attain the objective, an unconventional methodical practice based on the calculation of trade balance per one inhabitant was used.
