Total factor productivity growth in English agriculture: 1690–1914

Trends in Total Factor Productivity in Pakistan Agriculture Sector

Total factor productivity (TFP) has emerged as an important source of agriculture growth. However, this area remained neglected by researchers as well as policy makers in Pakistan. The studies which have estimated agriculture TFP growth in Pakistan are very few and they have tended to overstate it by ignoring the variation in capacity utilization, hours worked and improvement in labour producti...

Total Factor Productivity and Sources of Long- Term Growth in Indian Agriculture

This paper assesses total factor productivity (TFP) growth in India, examines the sources of productivity growth, including public and private investment, and estimates the rates of return to public investments in agriculture. The results show that significant TFP growth in the Indian crops sector was produced by investments -primarily in research -but also in extension, markets, and irrigation...

A Chronological Study of Total Factor Productivity and Agricultural Growth in U.S. Agriculture

Policy Uncertainty, Total Factor Productivity and Growth

This note shows that differences (across sectors or regions) in the effective price of inputs results in low measured total factor productivity (TFP).

Decomposition of Total Factor Productivity Growth of Pistachio Production in Rafsanjan Region of Iran

The stochastic frontier production model is one of the most used ways to estimate efficiency and productivity. The purpose of this paper was to decompose the sources of total factor productivity (TFP) growth into technological progress, changes in technical efficiency and changes in economies of scale. In this paper, we also used Divisia index in order to estimate production function. A random ...
