PART I: THE PRODUCTION STRUCTURE OF POSTWAR JAPANESE AGRICULTURE -- -- 1. An Empirical Investigation of the Production Structure of Postwar Japanese Agriculture: 1957-97 -- 2. Estimating the Allen, Morishima, and McFadden Elasticities of Substitution -- 3. The Dual and Primal Rates of Technological Progress in Postwar Japanese Agriculture -- 4. The Factor Bias and the Hicks Induced Innovation Hypothesis -- 5. The Output Bias of Technological Change -- 6. The Impacts of Scale Economies and Technological Change on the Growth of Total Factor Productivity -- 7. A New Method for Decomposing the Rate of Growth of Labor Productivity -- -- PART II: THE PRODUCTION STRUCTURE OF POSTWAR JAPANESE AGRICULTURE -- -- 8. Total versus Variable Cost Function Approaches to Investigating the Agricultural Production Structure -- 9. Estimating The Shadow Value of Land and Possibilities of Land Transfers -- 10. Economies of Scale and Structural Change.

By departing from conventionally analytical tools such as Cobb b6 sDouglas and CES production functions, the author quantitatively analyses the production structure and productivity of Japanese agriculture for the second half of the 20th century. To achieve this objective the book uses newly developed analytical tools from the early-1950s through to the 1980s such as the duality theorem, flexible functional forms, and index number theories. By making full use of these newly developed analytical tools, the author offers comprehensive, consistent, integrated, and reliable empirical results for analysing the production structure and productivity of postwar Japanese agriculture. Volume 1 utilises the crop-livestock multiple product total and variable translog cost to quantitatively assess production structure and productivity from 1957 b6 s1997. Important indicators of production are estimated for different size classes for each year and are compared over time. Furthermore, a distinctive feature of Volume 1 is the introduction of a newly devised method for decomposing the growth rate of labor productivity. This process departs from the conventional Solow growth account method, which is not explicitly integrated with the theory of the firm.
