Накратко на български

Данните от счетоводните книги на фермите в Европа между двете световни войни разкриват как е повлияла Голямата депресия. Анализът помага да се разбере модернизацията на земеделието и произходът на сегашната Обща селскостопанска политика на Европейския съюз.

Farm Accountancy Data as a Source for the History of European Agriculture

The project studied the creation of farm accountancy data series in interwar Europe and determined how these data can be exploited to study the Great Depression of the 1930s. It focused on the data published by the International Institute of Agriculture (IIA) and, in particular, on farm accountancy data Recueils de statistiques basées sur les données de la comptabilité agricole (1927-1937), by studying their genesis and the political coalition that underpinned the process of data creation. The importance of the project is multifold: 1. The Europe-wide spread of farm accounting offices shows a model of technological diffusion through cooperative institutions. 2. By addressing the role of the International Institute of Agriculture, the project contributed to our understanding of the role of data in multilateral economic governance. 3. By studying a network of farm accountancy offices, the project improves our knowledge of the origins of a key piece of the European Union Common Agricultural Policy, namely the Farm Accountancy Data Network. 4. By paving the way to the creation of a series of farm accounting data covering the interwar period, the project will enable a better understanding of the impact of rising protectionism on economic performance. The project fostered a better understanding of the role of farmers’ unions and agricultural experts in promoting the modernisation of European agriculture at the beginning of the 20th century. The publications that are now coming out of it and are either under review or in preparation open up new perspectives on our understanding of the Great Depression of the 1930s in Europe, showing how farmers tried to argue in favour of policies in the international arena. Finally, the analysis of the IIA series Recueils de statistiques basées sur les données de la comptabilité agricole proved the feasibility of the ERC-funded project DATAREV, which I have recently started.

Цел на проекта

Farm accountancy data are used nowadays in the EU for fine-grained analysis of policy impact, but the history of farm accountancy data begins at the end of the 19th century, when agricultural associations promoted the spread of accounting techniques among farmers of different European countries. In the 1920s, agricultural associations and the International Institute of Agriculture, the predecessor of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization launched an ambitious and unprecedented attempt at international standardization of accounting rules in order to collect comparable accountancy data. For this two-years projects I intend to study farm accountancy data collected by the International Institute of Agriculture during the Interwar in order to assess the usefulness of farm accountancy data for the analysis of global trends in agriculture around the Great Depression and prepare the creation of a database of historical farm accountancy data in the future. I will analyse the Farm Accountancy Statistics series published by the International Institute of Agriculture concerning the evolution of agriculture in different countries for the period 1928-1938, by examining: 1.The theoretical underpinnings of farm accountancy data;2.The actors involved in the production of data at national and international level, including economists, agricultural associations and international organizations;3.The data expected influence on policy;4.The picture of European agriculture that emerges from the data.As a result, the project will contribute to our understanding of the impact of protectionism, transnational networks and international organisations during the interwar period, a time of international economic tensions that increasingly resembles our own.
