Nonparametric estimates of productivity and efficiency change in Australian Broadacre Agriculture

Nonparametric estimates of productivity and efficiency change in Australian Broadacre Agriculture

This paper computes and decomposes Färe-Primont indexes of total factor productivity of Australian broadacre agriculture by estimating distance functions. Using state-level data from 1990 to 2011, the empirical results show that TFP grew at an average rate of 1.36 per cent per annum in the broadacre...
