Environment Development and Sustainability

Abstract This paper examines agricultural productivity dynamics in Brazil’s semi-arid region, a territory characterized by climatic constraints, especially water availability, and structural heterogeneity. The study aims to estimate and decompose total factor productivity (TFP) between 2006 and 2017 to identify the relative roles of technological change, efficiency, scale, and environmental effec…
