      abstract = {Recent research has focused on the effect of public  infrastructure on economic performance. In this paper, a  model of
Greek agriculture's technology and behaviour is  constructed based on the dual cost function framework. The  model provides
a decomposition of productivity growth into  the components technical change, returns to scale, and  public infrastructure. The
empirical estimates indicate  that public infrastructure investment provides a  significant return to agriculture and augments
productivity  growth. Over the period 1960-1995, the impact of public  infrastructure on productivity growth in livestock and
crop  production is found to be positive, although it has been  declining since the late 1970s. These results strongly  suggest
that a decline in public infrastructure investment  can partly explain the observed decline in the productivity  growth of Greek
agriculture in the 1980s.
