No 316562, Miscellaneous Publications from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: This volume describes how statistics on production inputs, production outputs, and productivity (output per unit of input) are constructed for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It shows how national aggregates are subdivided and defines regional and commodity group activities. Meaningful analyses of productivity trends are made possible in this important field, both by region and among commodities. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is improving its productivity indexes by introducing a new Tornqvist national multifactor productivity index.
