Analiza substytucji pracy ludzkiej kapitałem w towarowych gospodarstwach rolnych w pierwszych latach członkostwa Polski w UE

This paper identifies and examines labor substitution with capital stream in rural farms in 2004, 2005, 2009 basing upon unit empirical data of Polish FADN monitoring. Considering the differentiation of labor substitution intensification and its relation with the level of its reaching by chosen farm, an author had to use the dependence between rural farm production (SE131) and aggregated production means: labor input(SE011) and total cost (SE270) as well as basing upon mentioned above to fix iso-quanta equation and extreme of substitution rate. It should be noted that the most effective factor influencing farms production was capital what had lesser impact on farms in first years of EU accession but greater after five years of accession in 2009. Labor substitution is purposeful in all farms assuming the farm’s production cost reduction as rural activity criterion.
