“…For the years immediately following the agrarian reform, Lin (1987) attributed a large share of productivity growth to institutional change that eliminated much of the "shirking" of laborers under collective farming. De Brauw, Huang, and Rozelle (2001) argued that market liberalization was another contributing factor. The second decade after the reform brought more changes.…”

In this paper we fit stochastic frontier production functions to data for Chinese farms grouped into each of four regions-North, Northeast, East, and Southwest-over 1995Southwest-over -1999 These frontier production functions are shown to have statistically different structures, and the marginal product information shows overuse of chemical inputs in the East and capital services in the North. Labor also has a low marginal product. Next, we use the data and the production parameters to create technical efficiency scores for each of the farms and then standardize them.Standardized technical efficiency is shown to have the same structure across regions and to be related to the age of the farmer, land fragmentation, and the village migration rate, controlling for year dummies and village or regional fixed effects.JEL Classification: C23, D24, N55, O13

“…For the 1970s and early 1980s, Lin (1987) attributed 20 percent of the productivity growth to institutional change that eliminated much of the "shirking" occurred under the collective farming. Mao and Koo (1997) and de Brauw, Huang, and Rozelle (2001) had similar conclusions. The role of increased usage of modern inputs, e.g., modern crop varieties, fertilizer, pesticide on grain production may have been underestimated (Xu 1999), but Widawsky et al (1998) concluded that pesticides were overused in eastern China while host-plant resistance has developed.…”
