The Survey of the Agroeconomical Potential of Hungary - A Brief Summary

This paper deals with two subjects: first we give a short account of "The Survey of the Agroecological Potential of Hungary" and then we outline a model for regional allocation of agricultural investment. The latter model is going to be a component of a model system developed for the methodology for the Hungarian Task 2 Case Study of the "Analysis of the Impacts of Technological Development on Production and the Environment". The first subject is not connected with IIASA research but the results of the ecological survey project can serve as a data basis for the planned case study now under way. The first chapter contains, besides the description of the data basis, a short summary of the main goals of the study and also of its methodology. In the second chapter we give the concept of the investment submodel of the planned model system of the Hungarian Task 2 case study. This paper was prepared by Z. Harnos, Head of Department, Bureau for Systems Analysis (Budapest) during his visits to the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (Food and Agriculture Program) in December 1980
