Health, Technical Efficiency And Agricultural Production In Indian Districts

Published By: MSE on eSS | Published Date: August, 17 , 2006

In this study, they attempt to quantify the effect of improved population health on technical efficiency in agricultural production. Using data for over 260 districts in 15 Indian states, they employ the random-coefficients technique to estimate a Cobb-Douglas production function, computing overall and input specific technical efficiencies for each district.
