Abstract: A normalized restricted profit function is used to estimate profit and factor demand functions from farm-level cross sectional data for the winter rice crop in Bangladesh. The results indicate that output price is a more important and less expensive policy tool than fertilizer and irrigation price to influence output supply and resources allocation.
