Abstract

[eng] The development of the distribution of farm income in the belgian silt region - This article analyses the evolution of the ditribution of income between farmers during the period 1962-1974. Its objective is to determine the significance of this evolution, its importance and to give an explanation for it. The explanatory factors that have been retained describe the evolution of the technical production conditions and the prices policy implemented by the authorities. . The statistics used are made up of accounts from a sampling of farms situated in the Belgian silt region. The distribution of income is measured by a variation coefficient. Its evolution is explained by the multiple regression method. . The results of the analysis show that between the first stage (1962-63-64) and the final stage (1972-73-74) the prices policy has distinctly reduced the evolution of the distribution of incomes while the changes in the technical production conditions tended to increase it. The variation between incomes finally was reduced by 10,10 %. This proves the egalitarian role that a prices policy can play in farming. [fre] L'article analyse devolution de la dispersion des revenus du travail entre les agriculteurs au cours de la période 1962-1974. L'objectif qui s'assigne est de déterminer 1e sens de cette évolution, son importance et lies éléments de son explication. Les facteurs explicatifs qui ont été retenus décrivent l'évolution des conditions techniques de production et la politique ides prix pratiquée par les pouvoirs publics. . Le matériel statistique utilisé est constitué par les données comptables émanant d'un échantillon d'exploitations situées dans da région limoneuse belge. La dispersion des revenus est mesurée par le coefficient de variation. Son évolution est expliquée par la méthode de la régression multiple. . Les résultats de l'analyse indiquent qu'entre l'époque initiale (1962-63-64) et l'époque finale (1972-73-74), la poétique des prix a exercé une incidence réductrice très nette sur dévolution de la dispersion des revenus, tandis que la transformation des conditions techniques de production exerçait un incidence amplificatrice. La dispersion des revenus famiiliaux s'est finalement réduite de 10,10 %. Ceci atteste le rôle égalitaire que peut jouer la politique des prix en agriculture.
