A multilevel analysis of agricultural credit distribution in East Java, Indonesia

Abstract This article investigates improved allocation of subsidized credits among farm groups in East Java, Indonesia. The empirical results of a bilevel programming model show that not only aggregate agricultural output, but also rural income distribution can be improved by increasing the availability of subsidized credit to small farmers.
