题目:Comparison of Real Values of Capital Input in OECD Agriculture

摘要:A number of recent studies point to differences in relative capital intensities as the proximate cause of the uneven performance of productivity growth across countries. This could be termed the embodiment hypothesis since it implies that technological innovation is embodied in capital. The paper provides a farm sector comparison of relative levels of capital input for 17 OECD countries for the period 1973-2011, with an explicit distinction between land and depreciable assets. We show that, after accounting for cyclical fluctuation in the relative price of capital inputs, fifteen of the sixteen countries in the comparison had higher levels of capital input relative to the United States in 2011 than at the beginning of the sample period in 1973. Moreover, an increases in relative capital use on farms in OECD countries were accompanied by change in the structure of the capital input, away from land and towards depreciable capital items.
