      abstract = {The technical efficiency in crop production has been  reported in different regions as well as in the state  of
Punjab to show how different regions have adopted the  latest technology. Technical efficiency of individual
farms  has been estimated through stochastic frontier production  function analysis. The production function
estimates have  pointed towards the presence of disguised unemployment in  the sub-mountainous region
of the Punjab state. The  technical efficiency has shown a wide variation across  regions. The average
technical efficiency has been found  maximum in the central region (90 per cent), followed by  south-western
and sub-mountainous regions. The main drivers  of inefficiency have been identified as experience  in
agriculture and age of a farmer. The policy intervention  to improve technical efficiency being not the same
for all  the regions, the study has observed that the state would  benefit more if policy interventions are
developed at the  local level.},
