    This document presents an empirical model for measuring agricultural productivity. The model uses natural logarithms of various farm inputs like land, labor, capital, fertilizer and other variable inputs to estimate their relationship to the natural logarithm of productivity. It also includes a dummy variable to account for the impact of malaria on productivity and estimates unknown parameters to determine the effect of each input factor.

    EMPIRICAL MODEL

    ln Qo   o  1 ln Li   2 ln Ni   3 ln Ki   4 ln Fi   5 ln IN   D  

    lnQo = The natural logarithm of productivity (output per input)

    lnLi = the natural logarithm of available cultivatable land to the household

    lnN i= the natural logarithm of the labour employed on the farm

    lnKi = the natural logarithm of the market value of fixed capital inputs used on the
    farm.

    lnF i= The natural logarithm of the quantity of fertilizer used by the farming
    household

    lnIN = the natural logarithm of the expenditure on variable inputs.

    D = A dummy variable to indicate the morbidity of malaria

    ε = the random error term.


     o   5 ,  = unknown parameters to estimated
