Description

Recent government data shows that the United States government currently spend $20 billion per year to farmers in direct subsidies. However, the effect of this subsidies on rental subsidies may be higher than predicted from theory. This shows that the U.S. government spending on farm subsidies is significantly greater than the typical estimates in the long run.The econometric model suggests that there is a strong correlation between increase in government spending on farm subsidies and the rates of farmland rentals.
