The Crow Rate Issue: A Retrospective on the Contributions of the Agricultural Economics Profession in Canada

Abstract

The Crow rate policy issue is finally being put to rest. It has been a major agricultural policy issue in Canada over the past 20 years, and agricultural economists should have had a great deal to contribute to the policy debate. The contribution of the profession is critically assessed. While much of the research undertaken was of high quality, the profession's aggregate contribution was much less than what might have been possible. A number of shortcomings of the research system are identified, and some lessons for researchers and those who fund research are provided.
