analysis of total factor productivity in iran: an intersectoral linkage approach

application of malmquist approach in analysis of total factor productivity growth of pulses in iran

in this study, total factor productivity growth of iran’s pulses (including irrigated pea, dry pea, irrigated lentil, dry lentil, irrigated soybean, dry soybean and irrigated bean) during of farming years 1989-1990 though 2007-2008 had been analyzed, using nonparametric malmquist approach. so, amounts of inputs usages include seeds, fertilizers, dung, poison, herbicide, labor, water and acreage...

analysis of total factor productivity growth of sugar beet in iran using malmquist approach

in this study, total factor productivity(tfp) growth of sugar beet in iran during 1989-1990 through 2007-2008 was analyzed, using nonparametric malmquist approach. so, amounts of inputs usage including seeds, fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, labor, water use and acreage in one hand and output of sugar beet production on the hand were taken into account. results showed that sugar beet prod...

Total Factor Productivity: An Unobserved Components Approach

This work examines the presence of unobserved components in the time series of Total Factor Productivity, which is an idea central to modern Macroeconomics. The main approaches in both the study of economic growth and the study of business cycles rely on certain properties of the different components of the time series of Total Factor Productivity. In the study of economic growth, the Neoclassi...

an analysis of total factor productivity convergence of industry sector in iran provinces

the convergence hypothesis maintains that an economy whose productivity lags behind other economies has a potential to grow faster. in other words, this economy can experience faster economic growth through absorbing, accepting, and using available technology experience. in this study, we have examined the relationship between tfp of industry sectors and regional convergence in iran's prov...

Total Factor Productivity in Food Industries of Iran

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 ...
