Determinants of Efficiency and Productivity Measures for Agriculture in Transition Economies

这项研究的目的是确定中欧和东南亚转型经济体的生产力和生产效率的决定因素，并得出对农业可持续发展的政策影响。本文考察了欧盟一体化对中欧的影响以及加入世贸组织和东盟对东南亚贸易自由化的影响。对转型期经济体进行了国家一级的考试。2004年欧盟强化后，欧盟新成员国和老成员国之间的全要素生产率（TFP）表现出现了分化。研究小组认为，在共同农业政策（CAP）中引入农业发展的第二个支柱造成了成员国之间生产力的差异。与欧盟（eu）不同，亚洲没有观察到这种差异。在东盟国家中，东盟和世界贸易组织的新成员成为TFP提高的来源。本研究证明了区域合作和经济一体化对农业发展的重要贡献。因此，战略方针对国际贸易和区域合作的重要性已被推断为政策含义。

The objectives of this study were to identify the determinants for productivity and production efficiency in the transition economies of Central Europe and Southeast Asia and to derive policy implications for sustainable development in agriculture. The impacts of the EU integration in Central Europe and trade liberalization through joining the WTO and the ASEAN in Southeast Asia were examined. The national level examinations for the transitions economies were undertaken.The divergence in performance of total factor productivity (TFP) has been observed among the new member countries as well as old member countries in the European Union after the enhancement of the European Union in 2004. The study team argued that the introduction of the second pillar of agricultural development in the common agriculture policy (CAP) has created this divergence in productivity among member countries. The divergence has not been observed in Asia unlike the European Union. Among ASEAN countries, new memberships for ASEAN and WTO served as sources for the improvement in TFP.The significant contributions of regional cooperation and economic integration to agricultural development have been proved in this study. Thus, the importance of the strategic approach on international trade and regional cooperation has been derived as policy implication.
