No 13786, Staff Papers from University of Minnesota, Department of Applied Economics

Abstract: This paper presents a way to measure factor saving biases of technical change, or more generally, of efficiency gains with more than two factors of production. The methodology is then applied to the agricultural sectors of the U.S. (1912-1968) and Japan (1893-1962).
