Climate change reduces agricultural total factor productivity in major agricultural production areas of China even with continuously increasing agricultural inputs Agric. For. Meteorol. (IF 6.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-01 Hong Zhou, Fulu Tao, Yi Chen, Lichang Yin, Yicheng Wang, Yibo Li, Shuai Zhang
Agricultural total factor productivity (ATFP) is a crucial measure that determines the aggregate agricultural output per unit of aggregate input. ATFP is sensitive to climate change; however, the impacts of climate change on ATFP have rarely been investigated despite its significance. In this study, we employ the Malmquist index methods to calculate the ATFP from 1981 to 2019 based on detailed census
