中国农业生产的技术效率衰退会终结吗?——基于开放与收敛视角的考察

doi:10.3864/j.issn.0578-1752.2012.15.022

Abstract

Abstract: 【Objective】 The technology efficiency in China’s agriculture had keep recession for decades. This paper tries to find the influence of the open environment on China’s agricultural productivity, and answer whether the recession of efficiency in China’s agriculture will end. 【Method】 A second stage regression using the output-oriented Malmquist productivity indexes and their decompositions of China’s agricultural sector as dependent variables.【Result】A robust convergence in China's agricultural efficiency was found, which also has been enlarged by the open environment. It was also found that the “equilibrium” efficiency level was growing in the recent years.【Conclusion】The results show that the open environment will end the recession of China’s agricultural efficiency at last.

Key words: China, agriculture productivity, efficiency change, open environment, convergence
