Abstract

An attempt has been made in this paper to examine the trend of productivity variations over years in Indian agriculture using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Econometric method. It is argued that DEA has merits over the econometric method.in estimating efficiencies, and for year specific information regarding to its returns to scale possibilities. Finally, the results suggest that scope exist for Indian agriculture for improving the productivity growth with further production expansion and proper allocation of the existing resources for the time to come.
