Regional economic diagnostics of industry efficiency (in case of agriculture)

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The article is devoted to assessment and comparative analysis of industry efficiency in both country and (Russian) region levels. Also the analysis of perspective sources for technology borrowing is presented. On a country level I analyze efficiency of agriculture, using mainly (among other) output per worker and output per square of arable land indexes, and identify most probable sources for technology borrowing. In Russian region level I consider more specific industry - cereal cultivation – and estimate technology level of each region, using Solow residual methodology. The residuals (TFP) are extracted from the cross-sectional (averaged 2005-2009 data) model of cereal yield. The article differs from the existing works in the following aspects: broad coverage (17 countries and all Russian regions); more precise estimates of labor productivity (per hour and industry PPP); novelty of application of Solow methodology to Russia`s agriculture industry.
