Policy‐induced Innovation in Sub‐Saharan African Agriculture: A Multilateral Malmquist Productivity Index Approach

Colin Thirtle, David Hadley and Robert Townsend

Development Policy Review, 1995, vol. 13, issue 4, 323-348

Abstract: To meet the [African] crisis one must turn to agricultural‐led growth. But, based on historical experience, an agricultural‐led strategy must be framed in no less than a twenty‐year horizon and must entail a combination of technological innovation, policy reform, and institutional restructuring because each, by itself, is limited. (Eicher, 1989)
