      abstract = {Beginning in the early 1980s, the government of Egypt  embarked on an aggressive initiative to progressively  change its centrally
planned economy to a system more  dependent on domestic and international markets. The  agriculture and food sectors have taken the lead
in the  economic reforms. This paper investigates changes in  Egyptian cropping patterns as an indicator of the 'success'  of the transition
toward a more market-oriented economy.  First, trends in cultivated area and gross margins during  the economic reforms are described.
Responses of cropping  patterns to changes in gross margins are then evaluated. A  random effect distributed lag model with  pooled
cross-sectional time-series methods is used to  examine the relationship for individual crops. Canonical  correlation analysis provides a more
general assessment of  responsiveness of the overall cropping pattern.},
