Abstract The relationship between farm size and productivity has long been a topic of debate in development economics. Using farm‐level panel data from 2003 to 2013, we investigate the maize yield Northern China. After controlling for farm‐specific characteristics, restore mild U‐shaped cropping area apparent inverse curve. This suggests that an size–productivity persists most small‐sized farms. Further analyses demonstrate farmer input choice labor capital is likely smooth non‐linear...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact mechanization services on farm productivity in Northern China from an empirical perspective, with aim identify underlying market and institutional barriers. Design/methodology/approach authors apply regression method control village fixed effects examining relationship between capital–labor ratio, service ratio productivity, using panel data collected 2013 2015 by CCAP. Findings Mechanization improve through substituting labor,...
The Chinese agricultural sector has experienced a substantial increase in total output since dramatic reforms were introduced 1978. This paper uses the index method to measure factor productivity (TFP) for China’s crop and livestock industries, based on gross model from 1978 2016. We construct production accounts industries using input‐output relationships 26 main commodities commodity groups, which account over 90 per cent of inputs outputs. results show that TFP grew at rate approximately...
In eukaryotes, three-dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture maintains genome stability and is important in regulating gene transcription. However, little known about the mechanisms by which diverse ATP-dependent remodeling complexes regulate 3D structure plants. We examined within ATPase subunit of SWI/SNF, ISWI, INO80, CHD wild-type (WT) mutant Arabidopsis thaliana plants combining high-throughput sequencing with situ Hi-C, enrichment histone marks, nucleosome density, expression. found...
A positive relationship between farm size and productivity is often considered to be largely due increasing returns scale in production. However, using farm‐level data for the Australian broadacre industry, we found that constant or mildly decreasing more typical scenario. In this study, marginal various inputs are compared across farms with different sizes. We large achieved higher by changing production technology rather than alone. The results highlight disparity ‘returns scale’ size’...
Background and Purpose Retinopathy, as a common complication of diabetes, is leading cause reduced visual acuity acquired blindness in the adult population. The aim present study was to investigate therapeutic effect hydrogen sulfide on streptozotocin ( STZ )‐induced diabetic retinopathy rats. Experimental Approach Rats were injected with single i.p. injection (60 mg·kg −1 ) induce retinopathy. Two weeks later, rats treated NaHS (i.p. 0.1 mL ·kg ·d 0.28 mol· L , donor H 2 S for 14 weeks. Key...
The past four decades have witnessed unprecedented economic growth and rapidly rising food demand in China. This paper provides an introduction to readers with useful information summarising the development of China’s agricultural sector transformation its rural economy over 40 years reform. It is, however, impossible cover all aspects this recent rich history a single journal special issue. Nevertheless, we are view that these papers address most fundamentally important insightful topics...
Abstract The world is at a crossroad when it comes to agriculture. global population growing, and the demand for food increasing, putting strain on our agricultural resources practices. To address this challenge, innovative, sustainable, inclusive approaches agriculture are urgently required. In paper, we launched call Essential Questions Future of Agriculture identified priority list 100 questions. We focus 10 primary themes: transforming agri‐food systems, enhancing resilience climate...
This study introduces two advances to the aggregate productivity index methodology typically employed by ABARES. First, it accounts for effects of climate variability on measured matching spatial data individual farms in ABARES farm surveys database. Second, a farm-level production frontier estimation technique is facilitate decomposition change into several key components, including technical and efficiency change. The makes use from Australian agricultural grazing industries survey An...
Abstract This paper examines the horizontal and vertical export spillovers of foreign direct investment ( FDI ) on C hina's manufacturing domestic firms by using firm‐level census data over period 2000–03. Based a H eckman two‐step procedure combining first differencing instrumental variable regression techniques, it is found that has had positive impact value mainly through backward technology export‐to‐sales ratio export‐related information spillovers. After decomposing different market...
This paper develops a theoretical model to examine the relationship between input elasticity of (technical) substitution and both farm total factor productivity size. In presence ongoing technical change its bias, ‘income effect’ arising from farms' cost minimising behaviour enables them increase by saving inputs or, through dual equivalent, enlarging As such, farms with higher elasticities tend grow larger become more productive, which provides new mechanism heterogeneity in growth can be...
This paper investigates the impact of GMO adoption on aggregate agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) and explores underlying mechanisms. Leveraging exogenous variation in timing scope commercialization four major crops across 132 countries, we find that increased TFP by approximately 5% during 1996-2016 period, with substantial gains occurring middle- low-income countries. The modest effect was attributed to insect-resistant technology, which constrained embodied technologies reduced...
Under the wave of era vigorous development new quality productivity, taxation industry is experiencing unprecedented and profound changes, which not only brings broad employment opportunities for students, but also puts forward more demanding challenges. From perspective change, deep penetration digitalization intelligent technology has prompted accelerated transformation upgrading industry. The steady progress "tax by numbers", rise emerging fields such as tax services, increasingly fine...
