Technical Efficiency in Agricultural Production and Its Determinants: An Exploratory Study at the District Level
Published By: MSE on eSS | Published Date: June, 15 , 2006Given the importance of agriculture to the well being of a
large percentage of India’s population, it becomes important to
study how improvements can be made in the productivity of this
sector. This study attempts to estimate the technical efficiency – a
measure of how well inputs are being used towards producing
output – of about 250 Indian districts in 1990-91. It employs the
stochastic frontier function methodology. [Working Paper No. 10] URL: [http://www.mse.ac.in/pub/Working%20Paper%2010%20PDF.pdf]
