      abstract = {The research in this paper considers the question of the  possible sources of total factor productivity (TFP)
change  in the Victorian dairy sector between 2007–08 and 2010–11.  The analysis explores the components of
TFP growth for a  sample of dairy enterprises in Victoria using farm monitor  data collected by the Department of
Primary Industries  Victoria (DPI). Specifically, the research considers the  contributions of technological
progress and technical  efficiency changes to TFP growth using the Malmquist index  based on a decomposition
of TFP change. The productivity  estimates are compared to financial measures of farm  performance and to
qualitative farm performance assessments  made by DPI field staff.},
