Abstract
What constitutes an agricultural intervention? What constitutes a “distorting” intervention in some well-defined sense, and how does one determine whether a particular intervention is “distorting” in this sense or not? Formally, one could define intervention as any government policy that has an effect on the equilibrium levels of prices, outputs, inputs, domestic absorption in various forms, and foreign trade.
