We employ a stochastic frontier analysis to estimate agricultural TFP changes for 113 countries using output distance function in a multi input multi output framework. We then make alternative groupings of countries to allow for the possibility of different production frontiers for countries with different income level, and we examine the effect of these various measurements of agricultural TFP on poverty reduction. Results from the TFP analysis show that TFP change estimates by income groups differ from those estimated using all countries in a pooled model. This indicates that agricultural technology and production frontiers may differ across countries based on income levels. Preliminary results show that TFP change from the pooled model has significant impact on poverty reduction. However, TFP estimates from different income groups didn’t indicate significant impact on poverty. The relationship between TFP change and poverty is therefore sensitive to the method used to estimate agricultural productivity. 000143073 546__ $$aEnglish 000143073 650__ $$aInternational Development 000143073 650__ $$aProductivity Analysis 000143073 6531_ $$aTotal factor productivity 000143073 6531_ $$aPoverty 000143073 6531_ $$aDeveloping countries 000143073 6531_ $$aFrontier analysis 000143073 700__ $$aMendali, Rebati 000143073 700__ $$aGunter, Lewell F. 000143073 8564_ $$93690891f-97ed-42de-8c82-fa0d433c7a53$$s370647$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/143073/files/Mendali-Gunter-SAEA-2013.pdf 000143073 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/143073 000143073 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:143073$$pGLOBAL_SET 000143073 912__ $$nSubmitted by Rebati Mendali (mendalirebati@gmail.com) on 2013-01-19T21:07:14Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Mendali-Gunter-SAEA-2013.pdf: 370647 bytes, checksum: 0b902bfa9017f4a3a1c4002252affa54 (MD5) 000143073 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2013-01-19T21:07:17Z (GMT).
