No mangoes in the tundra: Spatial heterogeneity in agricultural productivity analysis
In line with the wider macro productivity literature existing studies of agricultural production largely neglect technology heterogeneity, variable time-series properties and the potential for heterogeneous but correlated total factor productivity (TFP) across countries. Our empirical approach accom...
