Cykl koniunkturalny w rolnictwie z perspektywy austriackiej szkoły ekonomii

The aim of the article is to present the business cycle in Polish agriculture from the Austrian school of economics perspective. According to the Austrian business cycle theory, the main cause of business cycle is an expansionary monetary policy. It leads to lengthening the production structure in the growth phase. The largest growth is observed in sectors situated far away from the consumer. However, in the recession phase these sectors face the biggest downswings. The agriculture is relatively prone to fluctuations of production. A study carried out for the Polish economy in years 1999–2013 showed that the fluctuations of global and final agriculture output was larger than the food production, but smaller than the industry production.
