Abstract: A restricted profit function is used to estimate profit and factor demand functions from farm level cross-sectional data for the main rice crop in Bangladesh. Analysis indicates that large and small farms are equally efficient and that owners are more efficient than tenants in a price and technical efficiency sense.
