【Abstract】 Trade protection and subsidies in terms of transfer payments are two major ways of agricultural support in all countries. With China’s entry to WTO, there is decreasing room for trade protection. Agricultural support is mainly dependent on subsidies, which is composed of direct subsidy to the producers and increased investment in public goods in agriculture. The former doesn’t seem to be the optimum policy choice in the long run because of its high transaction cost; the latter should become the major approach to long-term agricultural support with its smaller-input-and-bigger-output effect and relatively low transaction cost.更多还原
