Abstract

Although there is a very large literature on the links between farm size and farm productivity in Indian agriculture there is virtually none that discusses the influence of farm size on technical efficiency. In this paper we try to fill this gap. We use panel data on a large number of farms for two Indian states to estimate a translog production frontier for wheat production and model the determinants of technical efficiency.
