AB  - This Discussion Paper explores interactions between structural impediments to labour adjustment,
specific labour adjustment patterns and the impacts of differing economical and political
frames. Based on the agent-based simulation framework AgriPoliS adjusted to the agricultural
structure of the region Nitra in southwest Slovakia, we carry out a range of simulation experiments
on the possible interplay between off-farm job opportunities for farm operators, growth
in other sectors of the economy, and policy impacts. Results show that free movement of labour
between sectors leads to strong adjustments in the agricultural labour force and benefits farms
with a growth potential. EU Accession and a subsequent decoupling of payments lead farms to
stay in business that would have otherwise left the sector. These farms, however, have a different
mix of family and hired labour.
