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 excerpt: Increasing food prices have renewed concerns about long-term agricultural demand and supply in the global economy. This book looks at results, methods, and data on international agricultural productivity for a better understanding of long-run trends and the policies that determine them. By presenting an international assessment of total factor productivity growth in agriculture, including up-to-date empirical analysis for developed and developing countries and regions, it provides a response to the rising global scarcity of agricultural production. It is essential reading for researchers, poli.

Book Synopsis Efficiency Issues in Transitional Economies by : Jenifer Piesse
Download or read book Efficiency Issues in Transitional Economies written by Jenifer Piesse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1999, this text uses a number of approaches to measure the performance of firms in the transition economies of Central Eastern Europe during the early stages of reform. There is considerable controversy about the level of productivity in this period, as is evident by contradictory evidence quoted in the literature and a high degree of inconsistency in published national statistics. Indeed, the disagreement extends to the measurement approach and the results for this group of countries. Particularly difficult is any analysis at the firm level, as data is inconsistent, incomplete and based on now out-dated accounting systems. The information used in this book is a panel data set of 64 items collected from 1000 firms across 25 industry sectors in Hungary. Productive efficiency is measured and the reasons for poor performance are discussed. It was found that industrial sectors differ in their average performance levels and in the factors most likely to account for this. Finally, recommendations are developed to help to reverse the decline in productivity.

This book was released on 2008-09-25 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of technology transfer in agricultural research collaborations Public-Private Collaboration in Agricultural Research: New Institutional Arrangements and Economic Implications examines the impact of the private-sector takeover of the field, and what it means for funding, research, technology, and more. Beginning with U.S. agricultural research financing, the discussion moves on to cover plant and animal research investments, collaborating institutions, and the international significance of technology spillover and transfer. From intellectual property rights and the CRADA Model to seed generation and other agricultural technology, this book offers a thought-provoking overview of global collaboration at this critical intersection of science and human welfare.
Book Synopsis Building a Resilient and Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Abebe Shimeles
Download or read book Building a Resilient and Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Abebe Shimeles and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the challenges and action points for agricultural sustainability in Sub-Saharan Africa? This open access collection of papers offers technical analyses, policy recommendations and an overview of success stories to date. Each carefully selected paper provides valuable insights for improved policy making and defines relevant strategic priorities on Africa’s sustainable transformation process, which is in line with the international development agenda. Although agriculture remains the main source of income for Africa’s population, the sector is rain-fed subjecting it to the vagaries of weather and climate change. This volume demonstrates the rationale of developing a competitive, inclusive and sustainable agribusiness sector for Africa’s food security and structural transformation. From the impact of Bioenergy crop adoption and Drought Index Insurance to Agro-Industrialization, this volume is important reading for individual researchers, academic associations and professional bodies interested in African agricultural development.

Book Synopsis Different approaches for estimation of total factor productivity by : Veerabhadrappa Bellundagi
Download or read book Different approaches for estimation of total factor productivity written by Veerabhadrappa Bellundagi and published by Amazon Publishers, USA. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total-factor productivity (TFP) is a variable which accounts for effects in total output not caused by traditionally measured inputs of labour and capital. If all inputs are accounted for, then total factor productivity can be taken as a measure of an economy’s long-term technological change or technological dynamism, scale of economies and efficiency.TFP is regarded as the more accurate productivity measure than the partial productivity measure. The broader the coverage of resources, the better is the productivity measure. The best measure is one that compares output with the combined use of all resources” (Chandel, 2007). TFP is the change in output relative to a weighted combination of all inputs, where the weights are factor shares. Some authors also define TFP as contribution of non-traditional inputs to output. For example non inputs were technology, irrigation, infrastructure, managerial skills and so on.The calculated TFP is decomposed in to a) Scale of economies b) Technical change and c) Residual or Efficiency or Management to know the contribution of non-conventional inputs to the output growth.There are different approaches for estimation of TFP, such as Production function approach, Growth accounting approach and Non-Parametric approach.World ScenarioCoelli, et al., 2003, conducted a study on Total Factor Productivity growth in Agriculture: A Malmquist index analysis of 93 Countries. The results shown that, Asia as a region posted the highest TFP growth of 2.9 percent followed by North America (consisting of USA and Canada), Australasia, Europe, Africa and South America. South America has posted the lowest growth rate of 0.6 per cent followed by Africa with 1.3 per cent growth in TFP. A surprising result is that over the period 1980-2000. The results on continent-level information for six regions revealed that, the largest difference occurs for South and Central America, where the average TFP growth measure increases from 0.6 percent to 1.5 per cent per annum.Country ScenarioChand et al., 2011, estimated average annual TFP growth for the major crops cultivated in India. Among cereals, wheat experienced the highest growth in TFP index during the three decades from 1975 to 2005. Among pulses, the TFP growth was estimated to be 0.5 per cent for moong, followed by gram (0.2 per cent). TFP for Arhar and Urad crops displayed a decline over the past three decades. The TFP is a useful indicator of changes in long-term productivity. The TFP growth (TFPG) in the oilseed sector varied in the range 0.7-0.8 per cent per annum.An attempt was made to analyze the TFP of ragi in Karnataka. The results shown that, TFP for ragi increased from 1.17 during 1999 to 1.81 in 2013. The TFP fell to 0.61 in 2011 and 0.67 in 2008 due to drought during that period. The highest TFP index was observed in 2007-08 (2.18). The average TFP index for 15 years was 1.12.The output index of ragi increased from 1.40 in 1999 to 1.79 in 2013. The average input index of ragi was 1.14 for fifteen years.Suresh, K. 2013, conducted a study on Economic impact of public sector agricultural research in ragi and redgram in Karnataka. The results revealed that, the Total Factor Productivity index of redgram grew at the rate of 3.31 per cent per annum and that of ragi grew at 4.75 per cent per annum. Thus, Public research significantly contributed to TFP growth in ragi.ConclusionTotal factor productivity can be estimated by different approaches. In growth accounting approach the tornqvist-thiel index is commonly used which is based on translog production function. The TFP decomposition analysis helps to identify factors which influence the total factor productivity growth. The results of the decomposition analysis indicate which variable contribute to growth in productivity. This will enable policy makers to suggest plan and programmes to achieve total factor productivity growth.
