Total factor productivity in Indian agriculture: An exploratory analysis based on literature review

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...

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...

Trends in Total Factor Productivity in Indian Agriculture: State-level Evidence Using Non-parametric Sequential Malmquist Index

Recognizing the critical role of agricultural sector in the overall growth as well as development performance, this study estimates total factor productivity (TFP) in Indian agriculture at state-level. Using Index of Agricultural Production as the measure of output, changes in TFP are estimated using non-parametric Sequential Malmquist TFP index. The TFP change is decomposed into efficiency cha...
