Abstract

The existing calculation methods for the number of agricultural surplus labor have a common flaw, that is, they can not reflect the impact of technical efficiency changes in agricultural production on the surplus labor. Based on the basic principle of stochastic frontier production function, this paper calculates the agricultural production technical efficiency of various provinces, and selects the province with the highest technical efficiency to assume that its agricultural labor is fully utilized, and there is no agricultural surplus labor. With the ratio of agricultural labor number to agricultural output value in this province as a reference, this paper calculates the number of agricultural surplus labor in other provinces. This calculation method makes up for the shortcomings of the existing calculation methods; it reflects the relationship between the number of agricultural surplus labor and production technical efficiency.
