 Production Interrelationships and Productivity Measurement in Irish AgricultureJ C Glass and D G McKillop European Review of Agricultural Economics, 1990, vol. 17, issue 3, 271-87 Abstract: The study presents an empirical analysis of the structure of production in Irish agriculture. A single-output for-input generalized translog cost function model is utilized to obtain econometric measures of substitution between factor inputs, elasticities of input demand, neutral and non-neutral technical change and economies of scale. The cost function model is also used to decompose Tornqvist productivity gains into the contributions due to technical change, scale economies and other (residually measured) influences. Average annual Tornqvist productivity gains of 2.0 percent were found, with the technical change and scale economies effects being computed as 1.33 percent and -0.22 percent per year, respectively, leaving a (residual) measure of other unspecified effects of 0.89 percent per year.
