Measuring farm productivity under production uncertainty
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 672-687, October 2023., 2023 Abstract This research introduces a novel empirical application to the assessment of farm productivity growth. While the existing research on productivity change has primarily focussed on ex post output observations, it has been shown that ignoring production uncertainty can lead to unreliable results.
