THE MEASUREMENT OF BIASED TECHNICAL CHANGE IN THE MANY FACTORS CASE: U.S. AND JAPANESE AGRICULTURE

This paper presents a way to measure factor saving biases of technical change, or more generally, of efficiency gains with more than two factors of production. The methodology is then applied to the agricultural sectors of the U.S. (1912-1968) and Japan (1893-1962).
