      abstract = {This paper develops a new measure of total factor  productivity growth in agricultural Production which  incorporates Bio Economic components effects.  The new  measure is called the Bio Economic-Oriented Total Factor  Productivity (BTFP) index, and incorporates components of  Bio Economic as liquids biofuels.   BTFP measure changes in  Bio Economic efficiency and can be decomposed into bio  economy efficiency change (BEC), and Bio Economic  technological change (BTC) components.  An empirical  analysis, involving 7 Central American countries-level  during 1980-2007, is provided using DEA methods. The  results show an annual growth in bio economy total factor  bio economy productivity growth of 1.1 percent, with bio  economy efficiency change (or bio economy catch-up)  contributing 0.03 percent per year and bio economy  technical change (or bio ethanol frontier-shift) providing  0.09 percent.},
