Total Factor Productivity:
Concept and Returns to
Research
Praduman kumar
Professor, IARI
• Total Factor Productivity
• Q=f(X1, X2, …..Xn)
• Q=f(x1t1, x2t2, ….xntn)
• Q=f(x,T)
• TG = QG-XG
• TFP Index = Output Index/Input index
Approaches for TFP measurement
• The parametric approach
• The accounting approach
• Non-parametric approach
The parametric approach
• Production function O =f(x,t)
• Cost function C=f(y,t)
• Partial differentiation with respect to time
gives technological change estimates
Production Function
• Estimate the production function for improved technology
• Estimate the production function for local technology
• Decompose the difference in yield between improved and local technology and its sources.
• Sources of change are:– Due to technology
– Due to change in inputs» Labour
» Feed
– Estimate benefits (value of input saved under improved over local technology)

The Accounting Approach
• Divisia-Tornqvist Index is used
• Construct input index
• Construct output index
• TFP index = output index/input index

Sources of TFP
• TFP =f( Research, Extension, Markets, Balance use of fertilizers, Sources of water, Rural Literacy, Climatic factors)
• EVMP® = Elasticity of research stock*(Value of output associated with TFP/Research stock)
• Generate benefit stream . Research benefit lag.
• Benefits will be 0.1EVMP, 0.2 EVMP,….
