Agricultural Risk, Intermediate Inputs and Cross-Country Productivity Differences∗
Agricultural labor productivity is key for understanding aggregate cross-country income differences. One important proximate cause of low agricultural productivity is the low use of intermediate inputs, such as fertilizers, in developing countries. This paper argues that farmers in poor countries rationally choose to use fewer intermediate inputs because it limits their exposure to large uninsu...

Using a two sector model we identify the low productivity growth in the agricultural sector as the main reason for the divergence of income per capita between Turkey and its peer countries.

متن کاملAgricultural Output and Productivity
Estimates of the employment structure, agricultural output, and agricultural labour productivity are developed for the leading European countries from 1300 to 1800. The employment estimates are developed from estimates of the total, urban, and rural populations. The output estimates are derived by positing a demand curve for agricultural goods.
