Modelling credit and private investment in Greek agriculture*
Agricultural Bank of Greece, Research and Planning Division, Athens Greece
Received October 1, 1983;
Summary
A simultaneous equation model is presented, describing the demand for credit and investments by Greek farmers. The level of credit is shown to have a strong influence on investment, particularly buildings. Reduced form equations show that a single percentage point price rise eventually leads to Drs. 37 mio more investments, of which 60% is financed by loans from the Agricultural Bank of Greece.
