Contribution of А.V. Chayanov to the development of the agricultural economic theory
Aleksandr Vasilievich Chayanov is one of the most prominent economists in agriculture. He has developed a theory of “qualitative advantages” of a farm household. The concept he created enabled to explain many peculiarities of the economic behavior of farm households in Russia and take them into account when developing an agricultural policy at any stage of the historical development not only in our country, but also abroad.
