Measuring the rate of technological change in Chinese rubber smallholdings - a micro-economic approach

Technological progress is commonly measured via aggregate production functions. In this paper, technological progress is estimated from a micro-economic viewpoint. A Cobb-Douglas production function was fitted to two sets of + cross-sectional data collected at different points in time. From the esti...
