Abstract

Les mesures de productivité sont très sensibles aux conventions adoptées pour mesurer les flux de service et les coûts d'usage des facteurs fixes. Une approche reposant sur des fonctions de distance permet de mesurer la productivité sans utiliser de données sur les prix des facteurs ni des produits. Tout en reposant sur des hypothèses moins restrictives que les méthodes traditionnelles, cette méthode, qui consiste en l'estimation d'indices de Malmquist, permet d'éviter de nombreux problèmes de données et de conventions sur les coûts d'usage du capital, du travail familial et de la terre. Cette méthode est appliquée à la mesure de la productivité de la branche "agriculture" dans douze pays. Une comparaison empirique avec des indices traditionnels permet de juger des avantages et des inconvénients de cette approche.
