Agricultural Growth and Rural Performance: A Philippine Perspective

Arsenio Balisacan

Philippine Journal of Development from Philippine Institute for Development Studies

Abstract: Usual indicators of intertemporal rural performance are technically flawed mainly because of the “shifting†of the physical area of the rural sector as population grows and/or economic activity expands. This problem is illustrated here using Philippine recovery data. Also shown is the fact that Green Revolution has not substantially alleviated rural poverty in the Philippines.
