资源简介:
<span>Has the golden age of U.S.
agricultural productivity growth ended? We analyze the detailed patterns of
productivity growth spanning a century of profound changes in American
agriculture. We document a substantial slowing of U.S. farm productivity
growth, following a late mid-century surge—20 years after the surge and
slowdown in U.S. industrial productivity growth. We posit and empirically probe
three related explanations for this farm productivity surge-slowdown: the time
path of agricultural R&D-driven knowledge stocks; a big wave of
technological progress associated with great clusters of inventions; and
dynamic aspects of the structural transformation of agriculture, largely
completed by 1980. </span>
