摘要

几项研究试图估计加纳可可种植者的生产力和投入使用效率，但它们对其长期性质和其他低产量来源的了解有限。本研究通过分析构成30年生产的独特的具有全国代表性的样本来扩展文献。结果表明，1987-2017年，农民纯技术效率低下不仅比区域技术差距高出8个百分点，而且一直主导着农民的整体绩效。从表面上看，这一发现的政策含义表明，提高农民的管理技能可以增加产量。

Chronic sources of low cocoa production in Ghana: new insights from meta-analysis of old survey data

Several studies have tried to estimate the productivity and input use efficiency of cocoa farmers in Ghana, but they shed limited light on their chronic nature and other sources of low production. This study extends the literature by analyzing a unique nationally representative sample that constitutes 30 years of production. The results showed that pure farmer technical inefficiency is not only 8 percent points larger than the regional technology gap, but also consistently dominated the overall performance of farmers from 1987-2017. The policy implication of this finding at face value suggests that improving farmer managerial skills could increase output.

期刊介绍： The purpose of the Review is to foster and disseminate professional thought and literature relating to the economics of agriculture, natural resources, and community development. It is published twice a year in April and October. In addition to normal refereed articles, it also publishes invited papers presented at the annual meetings of the NAREA as well as abstracts of selected papers presented at those meetings. The Review was formerly known as the Northeastern Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics
