Book Synopsis Agricultural Productivity, Comparative Advantage and Economic Growth by : Kiminori Matsuyama
Download or read book Agricultural Productivity, Comparative Advantage and Economic Growth written by Kiminori Matsuyama and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of agricultural productivity in economic development is addressed in a two-sector model of endogenous growth in which a) preferences are non-homothetic and the income elasticity of demand for the agricultural good is less than unitary, and b) the engine of growth is learning-by-doing in the manufacturing sector. For the closed economy case, the model predicts a positive link between agricultural productivity and economic growth and thus provides a formalization of the conventional wisdom, which asserts that agricultural revolution is a precondition for industrial revolution. For the open economy case, however, the model predicts a negative link; that is, an economy with a relatively unproductive agricultural sector experiences faster and accelerating growth. The result suggests that the openness of an economy should be an important factor when planning development strategy and predicting growth performance.

Book Synopsis The Agricultural Productivity Gap by : Martin Sauber
Download or read book The Agricultural Productivity Gap written by Martin Sauber and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa is backward in economic growth, food security, child nutrition, and health, and is combating environmental degradation, is beset by conflicts, and has the highest population growth rate in the world. One of the core contributing factors is the weak performance of the agricultural sector. Liberalisation of agricultural markets became a core issue in development policy, but this does not address the problem. This study discusses the question of whether developing countries have lost their comparative advantage in agricultural products due to a change in productivity growth rates. Firstly, agricultural productivity in developed countries increases immensely in comparison with developing countries; this leads to a growing international productivity gap. Secondly, productivity growth rates in the agricultural sector exceed those in the industrial sector. The first observation results in a loss of competitiveness and the first and second together cause a diminishing comparative advantage in agriculture in developing countries. The book offers interesting perspectives about the growing global divergence with strong theoretical foundations and empirical evidence. It is aimed at policy makers, professionals, academics, and students of economics and political sciences, and anyone with an interest in development study.

Book Synopsis Agricultural Productivity by : Virgil Ball
Download or read book Agricultural Productivity written by Virgil Ball and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural Productivity: Measurement and Sources of Growth addresses measurement issues and techniques in agricultural productivity analysis, applying those techniques to recently published data sets for American agriculture. The data sets are used to estimate and explain state level productivity and efficiency differences, and to test different approaches to productivity measurement. The rise in agricultural productivity is the single most important source of economic growth in the U.S. farm sector, and the rate of productivity growth is estimated to be higher in agriculture than in the non-farm sector. It is important to understand productivity sources and to measure its growth properly, including the effects of environmental externalities. Both the methods and the data can be accessed by economists at the state level to conduct analyses for their own states. In a sense, although not explicitly, the book provides a guide to using the productivity data available on the website of the U.S. Department of Agriculture/Economic Research Service. It should be of interest to a broad spectrum of professionals in academia, the government, and the private sector.

Book Synopsis Productivity Growth and Convergence in Agriculture and Manufacturing by : Will Martin
Download or read book Productivity Growth and Convergence in Agriculture and Manufacturing written by Will Martin and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1999 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of agricultural productivity is widely believed to be low. But this study finds the productivity rate in agriculture to be higher than that in manufacturing, both on average and for groups of countries at different stages of development. This suggests that a large agricultural sector need not be a disadvantage for growth performance, and may be an advantage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving beyond traditional discussion of low agricultural productivity as being primarily determined by technological factors, this volume examines the more complex determinants including the influences of ecology and environmental degradation, the distribution of political power and socio- economic factors, as well as possibilities for biotechnology. Ten contributions are divided into four sections: historical perspectives on productivity in agriculture; the role of the price mechanism in relation to the agricultural sector; the role of class relations and the state in stagnation and growth in agricultural productivity; and ecological sustainability of agricultural productivity growth.

Book Synopsis Crop Selection and International Differences in Aggregate Agricultural Productivity by : Jorge Alvarez
Download or read book Crop Selection and International Differences in Aggregate Agricultural Productivity written by Jorge Alvarez and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large share of cross-country differences in productivity is explained by differences in agricultural productivity. Using a combination of sub-national agricultural statistics and geospatial datasets on crop-specific potential yields, we study the main drivers of this variation from a macroeconomic perspective. We find that differences in geographically-induced crop-specific comparative advantages can explain a substantial share of the variation in yields across the world. Data reveal substantial gaps between potential and observed yields in most countries. When decomposing these within country gaps, we find that crop selection gaps are on average larger than those induced by input usage alone. The results highlight the importance of understanding the interaction of geography and crop selection drivers in assessing aggregate agricultural productivity differences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: gricultural science policy in the United States has profoundly affected the growth and development of agriculture worldwide, not just in the A United States. Over the past 150 years, and especially over the second th half of the 20 Century, public investments in agricultural R&D in the United States grew faster than the value of agricultural production. Public spending on agricultural science grew similarly in other more-developed countries, and c- lectively these efforts, along with private spending, spurred agricultural prod- tivity growth in rich and poor nations alike. The value of this investment is seldom fully appreciated. The resulting p- ductivity improvements have released labor and other resources for alternative uses—in 1900, 29. 2 million Americans (39 percent of the population) were - rectly engaged in farming compared with just 2. 9 million (1. 1 percent) today— while making food and fiber more abundant and cheaper. The benefits are not confined to Americans. U. S. agricultural science has contributed with others to growth in agricultural productivity in many other countries as well as the Un- ed States. The world’s population more than doubled from around 3 billion in 1961 to 6. 54 billion in 2006 (U. S. Census Bureau 2009). Over the same period, production of important grain crops (including maize, wheat and rice) almost trebled, such that global per capita grain production was 18 percent higher in 2006.

Download or read book Progress for Food Or Food for Progress? written by Folke Dovring and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1988-05-20 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A college textbook for graduate students of economics focuses on the political economy of agricultural growth and development, formulated from considerations of comparative international agricultural development. The 23 text chapters are grouped among 3 general themes, viz.: (1) descriptions of economic structures relevant to food needs to accommodate population growth; (2) descriptions of processes involving the linking of agricultural policy with food production, trade, commodity agreements, etc.; and (3) the political economy of agricultural development in each of the different global regions. The text accommodates the common features of this theme as well as the great variety of the development scene.
