Productivity effects and natural resource management: econometric evidence from POSAF‐II in Nicaragua

“…The TE estimates reported here are relatively low when compared to the available evidence for Latin America (Bravo‐Ureta et al ., ; Lachaud et al ., ). However, it is important to keep in mind that POSAF‐II was implemented in areas that were severely damaged by Hurricane Mitch in October 1998.…”

Public Expenditures, Impact Evaluations and Agricultural Productivity: Summary of the Evidence from Latin America and the Caribbean

“…TFP is composed of technical change and technical efficiency, where technical change refers to "a change in the production technology that can come from improved methods of using the existing inputs or through changes in input quality", and technical efficiency refers to the "ratio of the actual output to the maximum potential output" (Kumbhakar, Wang and Horncastle, 2015). 6 See Lachaud, Bravo-Ureta and Ludeña (2015) for an analysis of effects of climate variability on TFP growth, and projections of the impacts of climate on estimates of Climate Adjusted Total Factor Productivity (CATFP) in LAC.…”

Evaluación del desempeño medioambiental del sector agrícola de América Latina y el Caribe bajo el supuesto de eficiencia natural y gerencial, utilizando DEA

“…So, in order to support the analysis, Lachaud et al (2015) has analyzed agricultural productivity growth in LACs, covering the period 1961-2012. This research has included climate variables in the study for a better understanding of agricultural performance in the region.…”

“…They have proved that 6 countries fulfill the efficiency measures: Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica and Mexico present the best agricultural performance. Lastly, Lachaud et al (2015) and Moreno-Moreno et al (2017) have concluded that new technology in agriculture will increase the ability to reduce pollution in agriculture but also achieve better agricultural performance.…”
