| Summary: | Economic indicators have long been recognized as an important indicator for agriculture productivity.
Yet, measurements of this relationship are still scarce and not always reliable. The power of
agriculture comes not only from physical capital and human capital effect but also from its potentially
strong support policy effects on the rest of agriculture productivity. This paper presents a conceptual
framework of the effects of economic indicators on agricultural productivity. As productivity is the
main concern of this paper, the moderating role of support policy is emphasized in this conceptual
model. The propose model is important to reveal the trend of output and input in agriculture as well
as the determinants of agricultural growth in Malaysia and ASEAN countries. From the graphical
trends, it is not possible to assess the contribution of inputs (capital, labour, fertilizer etc.) to the
overall output. Proposition stated and model proposed in the paper can be tested in empirical study in
various economic sectors. |
