Management and returns to scale in agriculture

Abstract

The problem of treating management as an explanatory variable in agricultural production function has not yet been solved satisfactorily mainly because of the lack of a generally accepted cardinal measure. Only a few agricultural production function analyses are known to have included management as an explanatory variable. These investigations have specified management in different ways under a diversity of assumptions and obtained different kinds of results even with comparable situations. The objective of this article is to present a critical review of the theoretical meaning of management and of the effectiveness of different ways of treating management in empirical investigations.
