Macroeconomic determinants of investment in agriculture in Poland – Dematel method

Summary/Abstract: Investments in agriculture have a direct impact on the sector as well as on the economy in general. These effects are determined by many internal (microeconomic) and external (macroeconomic) factors. In the literature there are many studies on the influence of micro economic factors on decisions regarding investments in agriculture holdings. Few authors,however, have dealt with macroeconomic conditionality for such decisions.The paper presents the possibility to apply the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method in examining the causal links between macroeconomic factors and investment in rural areas. Basing on the three independent experts’ opinions referring to the analyzed relationships,we reveal direct and indirect links between the investigated variables.
