摘要:
This article documents and appraises the methodology and data sources used in deriving the USDA series on net investment in farm real estate. The series has been used in many studies dealing with the farming sector of the U. S. economy, but the USDA procedures are shown to be highly questionable on theoretical grounds. Several likely sources of bias and measurement error are pointed out. Suggestions for improving the series, and some alternative methods of estimation are also presented.
