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...
متن کاملFertilizing Growth: Agricultural Inputs
This paper uses cross-country panel data to estimate the agronomic inputs that lead to cereal yield improvements and the consequences for countries' processes of structural change. The results suggest a clear role for fertilizer, modern seeds and water in boosting yields. It then estimates empirical links in developing economies between increased agricultural yields and economic growth; in part...

متن کاملDemocracy and Agricultural Productivity
This study attempts to empirically examine the impact of democracy on agricultural productivity by estimating a cross-country agricultural production function. In the regressions, we control the education, economic freedom, climate and geographic variables, in order to see if democracy can still explain a significant portion of the heterogeneity of agricultural productivities across countries. ...
متن کاملAgricultural Productivity and Growth
This paper investigates the growth experience of one country in detail in order to enhance our understanding of important factors that a¤ect economic growth. 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. An extended model that incorporates distortions i...
