This paper applies the Window Malmquist Index (WMI) approach to measure chanages in agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) for the United States and a sample of nine European countries for the period 1973 to 1993. The data set used in this paper is obtained from Ball et al. (2001). The WMI...

This paper uses time series data for the period 1961-1995 and a flexible model to analyze the progress of factor-biased technological change in Greek agriculture. The model employs a third-order transcendental logarithmic cost function which allows the second-order coefficients to change over...

The objective of this paper is to investigate the relative contribution of input use, technological change and technical efficiency to the production growth of the Greek agricultural sector, using a stochastic production frontier method (Battese and Coelli, 1999) to a panel of 608 farms over the...

This paper applies time series techniques to test for convergence in agricultural total factor productivity among the USA and a sample of nine European countries for the period 1973-1993. The data set used in this paper obtained from Ball et al. (2001). The wide spectrum of unit root test...
