Abstract

Chapter 5 seeks to identify the existence of technical progress by analysing ‘factor returns’ with empirical studies on both Mainland China and Taiwan. Where there is no obvious increase in arable land and/or labour input, a stable and substantial increase in per capita output growth unambiguously demonstrates the existence of technological progress. Further, analysis of ‘factor return’ in relation to different factors can help us to distinguish different agricultural growth paths, such as technology-based or factor intensification-based growth paths.
