No 197671, 1989 Occasional Paper Series No. 5 from International Association of Agricultural Economists

Abstract: A disaggregated variable profit function model is estiamted for French agriculture. Short-run results suggest price inelastic, positively sloped supply functions and that French agricultural production has benefited from important technological gains since the early 1960s. These gains are due both to domestic public agricultural research expenditures and international transfers of technology.
