Rising wages, mechanization, and the substitution between capital and labor: evidence from small scale farm system in China (2016, methodology): “Previously, the data have been used in analyses on China’s agricultural supply and input demand (Huang and Rozelle, 1996; Huang et al., 1999; Jin et al., 2002, 2010; Rae et al., 2006).”
The Sustainability of Agricultural Development in China: The Agriculture–Environment Nexus (2018, background): “[5] estimate total factor productivity (TFP) from 1980–95, and found that the TFP for rice, wheat and maize grew rapidly with new technology accounting for most of the productivity growth.”
Moving off the farm: Land institutions to facilitate structural transformation and agricultural productivity growth in China (2012, unknown): “5 enormous improvements in total factor productivity (Jin et al. 2010) that relate to different phases of policy reform (Brummer et al.”
Migration, local off-farm employment, and agricultural production efficiency: evidence from China (2015, unknown): “…assumption given technical efficiency was found to account for a major portion of the change in China’s TFP from the late 1990s and early 2000s (Jin et al. 2010) andmost of the existing studies of technical efficiency of China’s agricultural sector is based on this assumption (Liu and Zhuang…”
