Abstract

For achieving the purpose of our research, the conceptual framework is designated to describe the relationships among agriculture and rural development, human development and human capital in this section. Secondly, two hypotheses are set for verification as well. They are: “There is a positive relationship between agricultural development and human development in Russia since 2000s (H1)” and “Structural changes in agricultural sector and human capital have impacts on the agricultural development in Russia since 2010 (H2)”. Thirdly, the methodologies for verifying hypotheses in this research are also explained such as Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) through comparing with Data Envelopment analysis (DEA). Finally, the reasons we chose SFA in this research are given as follows. This method can more accurately estimate the “true” production boundary, rather than the average of all agricultural organizations. SFA assumes the existence of random deviations from the border of efficiency associated with the non-constant nature of the production process, for example, the differences in the climatic conditions of production which is thought exactly suitable for the analysis of agriculture in Russia.
