Economic impacts of small, medium and large agricultural-based sectors

Growth in final demands does not bring considerable implications on structural changes and growth of the agriculture sector in Malaysia. The current macroeconomic models are unable to provide explicit answer to this issue because they ignore the dualities in production technologies. The major lim...
