Abstract

L'objet de cet article est de mettre en évidence l'existence de biais d'hétérogénéité significatifs pour l'estimation de la productivité marginale des pesticides. Pour ce faire, les auteurs utilisent l'approche développée, dans le cadre de la méthode des moments généralisée par Wooldridge (1991), pour l'estimation et les tests de spécialisation d'une fonction de production agricole primale, pour un panel, issu du RICA, de 496 producteurs français de grandes cultures suivis de 1987 à 1990.
