Abstract: Our contribution in this article is to compare two methods of adjusting agricultural productivity estimates for the effects of bad environmental outputs. One method is a direct non-parametric Malmquist index with the environmental variables include. The other method is to use the shadow prices from the Malmquist analysis to modify a Tornqvist-Theil with shadow shares for the environmental variables.
