| Summary, etc. |
This book investigates the performance of Chilean agriculture in the 1950's by trying to: (1) determine in what respects Chilean agriculture fell short of its potential during this period; (2) offer some tentative explanations for the shortfall; and (3) serve as a model for the use of agricultural production analysis in planning agencies of developing economies.<br/>The analysis, which is organized around a production function-that is, a technical relation between outputs and efficiently used inputs-may be subdivided into four major parts: (1) an aggregate description of the institutional framework in which Chilean agriculture operated and of the agricultural product and input changes that occurred in the 1950's; (2) a comparison of the estimated marginal returns from using an additional unit of various inputs with the cost of such inputs, all based on an estimated cross-section production function for a sample of approximately 200 irrigated farms in one of the main agricultural provinces for the 1958-1959 crop year; (3) an examination of the sources of differences between high and low productivity farms in the same sample; and (4) a discussion of potentials and limitations of using these procedures as part of the tool kit of agricultural planners in developing countries.<br/> |
