Same Practices, Different Outcomes
This paper examines gender differences in organic certification among Hungarian wineries and asks whether they reflect observable differences in sustainability engagement, organizational capabilities, and structural characteristics, or differences in how similar profiles translate into certified status. Using a 2022 cross‐sectional survey, we estimate binary‐response models and apply nonlinear Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition to separate the female–m…
Do Managers Shape Enterprise Outcomes? Managerial Orientation, Innovation Performance, and Demographic Moderators in the Hungarian Wine Sector
Managerial capabilities play a critical role in shaping firm innovation and environmental performance, yet evidence for small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises in traditional sectors remains limited. This study examines the association between managerial orientation and two performance outcomes—product/marketing innovation and eco‐innovation—using survey data from wineries in the Hungarian wine sector. Managerial orientation is conceptualized as an i…
Kivonulás vagy folytonosság? Az öregedő agrárium demográfiai válsága
A tanulmány egy régóta ismert, mégis újra és újra félreértett jelenséget vesz górcső alá: a mezőgazdaság elöregedését és a generációváltás makacs elakadását. A közbeszéd gyakran úgy kezeli ezt, mintha pusztán pénzkérdés volna: „adjunk elég támogatást, és a gazdaság átadása megtörténik”. Az irodalmi áttekintés azonban arra jut, hogy ez a magyarázat legfeljebb részleges. Az utódlás nem egyszerű tranzakció, hanem intézmények, normák és személyes éle…
Monetary policy, exchange rates and food price dynamics
Purpose This study examines the drivers of food inflation in EU member states outside the euro area, focusing on exchange-rate dynamics, global shocks and monetary conditions in an environment of pronounced cross-country heterogeneity. Design/methodology/approach Using monthly data from 2007 to 2023, the study applies a cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) model, which captures cross-country dependence and heteroge…
Beyond roles
This study examines how shared human values and sociodemographic characteristics shape attitudes and perceptions within local food systems, with a particular focus on producer-consumer alignment. Using data collected in 2021 from a representative sample of 1031 consumers and 224 small-scale producers in Hungary, we analyse evaluations of key local food attributes alongside basic human values derived from Schwartz’s Theory of Basic Human Values. F…

A tanulmány célja, feltárja a mezőgazdaság…
Round‐Tripping Foreign Direct Investments
FDI round‐tripping has become an increasingly important issue in the world economy, with significant implications for tax revenues, regulatory frameworks, and economic policy. Little is known about its importance and characteristics from a country of origin perspective, and thus economic policies are ill‐prepared to address it. This study analyzes the determinants of round‐tripping in OECD countries and highlights the urgency of addressing it. Ke…

How to encourage people to follow a climate-friendly diet? Increase social cohesion
Reducing meat consumption is increasingly recognized as a necessary strategy for mitigating climate change and improving public health. While motivations to reduce meat intake are well documented, few studies have integrated these with basic human values to understand dietary behaviour. This paper addresses this gap by examining how environmental, health, and animal welfare motivations interact with value orientations based on the Schwartz’s theo…
How to win the first Olympic medal? And the second
Objectives We investigate the determinants of Olympic success. We distinguish between the probability of winning a medal and the overall Olympic success. Furthermore, we examine the impact of the three superpowers (China, Russia, and the United States). Beyond Olympic success as measured by medals, we also investigate the impact of other dependent variables considering additional rankings. Methods We use sport‐level data for seven Summer Olympic …
The wellbeing paradox in Hungarian local sustainable agriculture
This study provides participants' perspectives on the health and wellbeing costs of sustainable farming. Newer producer-consumer connections require both time and experience and involve extra effort or skills, but farmers often lack these abilities. The results show how perceptions of work processes relate to the general framework of CSA, which necessitates a distinct strategy for farm management
The socioeconomic impacts of the CAP
One of the main aims of the EU's common agricultural policy (CAP) is to promote the development of rural areas. Although there is a rich abundance of academic literature on the impacts of the CAP on rural areas, there has yet to be a comprehensive overview on the effects. The paper aims to fill this gap by providing a systematic literature review on the impacts of the CAP on the socioeconomic situation in EU's rural areas. A two-stage search proc…
Do different types of Common Agricultural Policy subsidies promote farm employment
Location of Hungarian microbreweries
Growth in the craft beer sector has been unevenly distributed over time and in terms of geographical area. While the spatial drivers of craft breweries in the United States are well documented, research on the situation in European countries is still limited. This paper investigates the locational determinants of the Hungarian craft brewing industry between 2005 and 2018 at the level of small regions. We employ negative binominal models to determ…
Survival strategies of producers involved in short food supply chains following the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic
The outbreak of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused unprecedented disruption to the global food distribution network (Barrett, 2020; Hobbs, 2020; Torero, 2020). Although the major impact, with the exception of those who suffered from medical issues, appeared to be economic (Béné, 2020; Laborde et al., 2020), the spread of COVID intensified existing concerns regarding the (un)sustainability of the global food system, potential threats t…

Testing the validity of Gibrat’s law for Slovenian farms
This paper studies the validity of Gibrat’s law for the growth of Slovenian farms between 2007 and 2015 using Farm Accountancy Data Network datasets. Cross-sectional dependence test and four different groups of panel unit root tests are applied to study the relationship between farm size and the farm size growth. It revealed evidence of cross-sectional dependence in farm sizes. Both input (land and labour) and output (economic) sizes of variables…
Off to market
The research described in this paper was designed to identify the factors that influence the importance small-scale farmers place on different marketing channels of short food supply chains. The focus concerns two entirely different types of market that are present in the bigger cities in Hungary: ‘conventional’ markets where there are no restrictions on locality but the farmer-market relationship is based on binding contracts, and newly-emergent…
Az európai uniós támogatások hatása a kistérségek helyzetére
A tanulmány az első kísérlet arra, hogy az európai uniós támogatások hatását ökonometriai módszerekkel vizsgálja a kistérségek helyzetére 2002 és 2008 között. Számításaink szerint a támogatások nagyságrendjének növekedésével azok koncentrációja is jelentősen növekedett. Ugyanakkor a támogatások kistérségek közötti konvergenciája is megfigyelhető volt bizonyos mutatók alapján. Eredményeink arra utalnak, hogy a támogatásoknak általában elég nehéz b…
