Abstract
One would expect to find differences in total factor productivity (TFP) associated
with factor allocation, given the technological change m the dairy sector over time
and the regional disparity of regulations affecting production The authors use a
National Income and Product Accounting procedure to calculate total income and
product, TFP, and sources of growth for seven dairy States m different regions The
average TFP growth for the seven States was 2 5 percent per year Florida and
California had higher TFP growth rates, but interspatial TFP estimates indicated
Wisconsin and New York had greater relative TFP levels in both 1978 and 1982
