TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE IN MEAT AND POULTRY-PACKING AND PROCESSING

David Lambert

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1994, vol. 26, 14

Abstract: Nonparametric procedures are used to compare technological change in SIC 2011, meatpacking, and SIC 2015, poultry slaughter and processing. There has been a greater increase in total factor productivity in poultry than in the red meats. Evidence also suggests recent differences in the bias of this technological change, with production changes being labor using in poultry and biased towards greater efficiency in the use of live animal inputs in meatpacking.
