THE USEFULNESS OF MULTINOMIAL LOGIT MODELS IN EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE OWNERSHIP FORM OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES AND THEIR FINANCIAL-ECONOMIC RESULTS

From the year 1994 onwards, the magazine "Nowe Życie Gospodarcze" has been publishing financial-economical data of the best three hundred agricultural enterprises selected from groups of such enterprises that had chosen to participate. Makers of these lists have taken into account enterprises which have come into being from the property of state treasury in the nineteen nineties. The present paper takes up the problem of utilizing (to a rather limited extent) of multinomial logit models for studying the relation between the ownership form of agricultural enterprises and some financial-economic characteristics, describing economic effectiveness.
