Essays On Socioeconomic Shocks And Policies In Agriculture, Wilman Iglesias
Department of Agricultural Economics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The three chapters of this doctoral dissertation estimate the responses of agricultural productivity, production value of agriculture, and crop supply to some external shocks and policies. Using unique panel datasets for Colombia and the United States, this research provides new insights regarding the responsiveness of agriculture to some socioeconomic effects and related market policies. Chapter 1 studies the impact of armed conflicts in rural areas on legal agricultural productivity in Colombia by using a production function that includes violence shocks such as the forced intra-national displacement of the rural population from 1995 to 2017. Chapter 2 investigates the effect of …
The Association Of Southeast Asian Nations Agricultural Total Factor Productivity, 1961-2011, Lee Kottmeyer
The Association Of Southeast Asian Nations Agricultural Total Factor Productivity, 1961-2011, Lee Kottmeyer
Department of Agricultural Economics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
This article estimates agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) growth in eight Southeast Asian nations over the time period of 1961-2011, using panel data. This study is concerned with investigating whether the recent slowdown in agricultural productivity growth exhibited by affluent societies extends to this region. Three approaches for measuring agricultural total factor productivity growth are used. First, a non-parametric Simple TFP, output, and input index is calculated. Second, a non-parametric nonstochastic Malmquist index is calculated using data envelopment analysis techniques. Finally, an econometric true fixed effects stochastic frontier model is estimated using a maximum likelihood procedure. Aggregate measures of TFP …
