澳大利亚大田农业生产率放缓了吗?

相对于澳大利亚经济中的其他部门及其他发达国家的农业部门而言,澳大利亚大田农业生产率的增长是强劲的。然而,如同在其他发达经济体中普遍观察到的那样,在过去的十年中,澳大利亚大田农业的生产率增长似乎有所放缓。本文使用调整的累积和平方(CuSQ)指数来检验1952-53财年至2007年7月期间澳大利亚大田农业全要素生产率(TfP)的趋势稳定性。结果显示,其在20世纪90年代中期发生了一次显著的放缓。进一步分析显示,过去十年恶劣的气候条件和长期下降的公共研发投资导致了生产率增长的放缓

Has growth in productivity in Australian broadacre agriculture slowed?

Agricultural productivity growth has been strong relative to other sectors in the Australian economy, and relative to the agricultural sectors of other developed countries. However, as commonly observed among other developed economies, growth in productivity in the broadacre sector of Australian agriculture seems to have slowed in the past decade. This paper uses the adjusted cumulative sum square (CUSQ) index to examine the trend stability of total factor productivity in Australian broadacre agriculture over the period 1952-53 to 2006-07. The results show that a significant slowdown occurred around the mid-1990s. Further analysis shows that the slowdown in productivity growth is driven by a longterm decline in public R&D investment in addition to poor seasonal conditions in the past decade
