      abstract = {A growth accounting method is used to analyze the sources  of growth in China's rice, wheat, corn and soybeans, the  four most important crops in China's grain sector, during  1978-97.  A large TFP contribution to growth in grain  production is found in the period immediately following  China's rural economic reform (1978-85).  In recent years  the growth rate of TFP falls sharply, contributing less  than 20 percent of growth in grain production, as increased  use of inputs became the major engine of growth.  If the  current government policy environment remains unchanged,  China's grain production will become increasingly costly  and constrain future growth and competitiveness in world  grain markets.  The supply response of the four grains is  estimated using a multiproduct framework.  The parametric  approach shows a joint production system in China's grain  sector and gross complementarity in the effect of a price  change on the supply of outputs and demand for inputs.},
