This paper reviews the scope for analysis of agricultural supply in transition economies. It assesses the applicability of standard dynamic econometric models in the transition context where structural breaks are present and time series data are limited. Models whose parameters vary for pre- and post-transition periods are considered and the use of Kalman filter and switching regression models is discussed. Where only post-transition data are available the possibility of using regional panel data is outlined. Finally, the paper concludes with some brief comments on the use of programming methods.
