   Nyckelord :West Sikkim; India; Social-ecological systems;

   Sammanfattning : Local social-ecological systems (SES) have diverse needs owing to their heterogeneous properties such as distinctive histories, cultures and environments.

7. 5. Subsistence and semi-subsistence farms in Hungary : role, determinants and directions

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Författare :Melinda Süveg; [2015]
   Nyckelord :farm household model; Hungary; ; subsistence; ; semi-subsistence; imperfect market; seemingly unrelated regressions; transaction cost;

   Sammanfattning : This study aimed to define and characterise subsistence and semi-subsistence farms (SSFs) in the Hungarian context, with particular attention given to identifying the determinants of their production, labour allocation and market participation decisions. In order to reveal the determining factors of Hungarian SSFs’ market participation and sales decisions for goods and labour, the thesis identified the household’s seven simultaneous decision equations and econometrically estimated them using a 2013 cross-sectional dataset of Hungarian SSFs and the seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) framework.
