Recursive programming models of agricultural development
It is the purpose of this paper to show how one such tool -- recursive programming -- can be used to generate the past development of the agricultural sector in a selected region in a manner that can allow us to both understand the transformation process -- an opportunity that is increasingly offered by the diverse nature of the regions where growth is occurring as well as to effectively plan for and evaluate alternative policy measures designed to enhance this process.

Abstract
Part I of this paper briefly describes the importance of incorporating details we consider strategic to this transformation process, details without which such a model could not be operationally useful; part II presents the various components of the programming model designed to effectively incorporate these details; part III presents briefly the empirical results obtained for the Indian Punjab from 1952-65 for which the model was used to describe and understand its recent agricultural transformation; the paper concludes briefly with some of the data requirements and several possible policy applications for the model.
