Data for: Total factor productivity in the INTA Chinandega rice variety

The study focused on measuring the impact of the INTA-Chinandega rice variety on the rate of production increase in 40 farms in the North Pacific region of Nicaragua. Data from INTA Pacific North was used and covered the 7 production cycles. The DEA approach was used as a non-parametric programming method to calculate the Malmquist productivity indices. The results showed that the INTA Chinandega variety had a 1% impact on the average rate of change of TFP. The possible causes of this variability are due to the rate of change in technical efficiency rather than due to INTA Chinandega technology. In the municipality of El Viejo, TFP reached a maximum of 13% year-on-year.

本项研究聚焦于评估 INTA-奇南第加水稻品种对尼加拉瓜北太平洋地区40个农场生产增长率的提升影响。研究采用了 INTA太平洋北部的数据，涵盖了7个生产周期。研究采用了数据包络分析（DEA）方法作为非参数编程技术，以计算马尔姆奎斯特生产率指数。研究结果表明，INTA奇南第加品种对全要素生产率（TFP）平均变化率的提升贡献了1%。引起这种变异性可能的原因是技术效率变化率，而非 INTA奇南第加技术本身。在埃尔·维耶霍市镇，TFP实现了年度同比增长率最高达到13%的佳绩。
