      abstract = {Agricultural products are normally
underpriced and many  types
of urban production subsidized in
developing  countries. In developed
countries agriculture  normally
shares in the system of subsidies,
and in  developed countries
without comparative advantage  in
agriculture many farm products are
overpriced. The  explanation for
this difference is related to  opportunities
for collective action. In
developing  countries, conditions
are not favorable to  collective
action by farmers. In contrast,  collective
action is easier in developed
countries, and  protection
makes possible large subsidies to
agriculture in  those countries with
relatively little good land in  relation
to population.},
