Inter-district rice water productivity differences in Bangladesh: An empirical exploration and implications

Ecological Economics, 2013, vol. 93, issue C, 210-218

Abstract: While the bulk of research on crop water productivity (WP) focuses on static cross-section analysis, this research provides a spatio-temporal perspective. It estimates rice crop WP for 21 Bangladesh districts for 37years; explores WP variations among districts; and investigates causality involving WP, intensification and technological variables; and groundwater irrigation and depth. It breaks new grounds by probing these significant but unexplored issues.
