This study aims to analyse the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy and its reforms on the development of agricultural structures. In the analysis we measure the development of rural structures using the number of farms as policy target variable. Our analysis aims to reveal the impact of agricultural policy and policy reforms on the development of the defined target variable, given the general economic and structural development. The analysis is conducted as an econometric panel data analysis. Our results show that agricultural policies have, in general, reduced the pace of structural development and kept more farms in the sector compared to a situation without policies. However, the implementation of CAP reforms in 1992, 2000 and 2007 has led to more rapid structural development. Overall, agricultural policies have smoothened the transition of resources from agriculture to other sectors.

W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono analizę wpływu wspólnej polityki rolnej (WPR) i jej reform na zmiany strukturalne w rolnictwie w UE-15. Autor bada rozwój tych struktur, posługując się pewną liczbą gospodarstw jako zmienną docelową polityki. Analiza ma na celu zbadanie wpływu polityki rolnej i wprowadzonych reform na rozwój zdefiniowanej zmiennej docelowej, przy uwzględnieniu ogólnego rozwoju strukturalno-ekonomicznego. W badaniu zastosowano ekonometryczną analizę danych panelowych. Z otrzymanych rezultatów wynika, że realizacja różnych inicjatyw w ramach WPR ogólnie zredukowała szybkość zmian strukturalnych i przyczyniła się do przetrwania większej liczby gospodarstw rolnych w sektorze w porównaniu z wariantem zakładającym brak tych inicjatyw. Jednocześnie reformy WPR wprowadzone w latach 1992, 2000 i 2007 doprowadziły do zdynamizowania zmian strukturalnych. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, różne inicjatywy realizowane w ramach WPR ułatwiły przejście zasobów z sektora rolnego do innych sektorów gospodarki.
