Agricultural policy and wheat production: a case study of pakistan
TLDR
In this article, the effect of change in tax/subsidy on agricultural productivity depends upon their respective sensitivities, which is reflected through the value of Nominal Protection Coefficient (NPC), a ratio between border prices and prices received by the local producer.Abstract:
The study aims to determine the effect of Agriculture Policy on wheat production in Pakistan. The effect of change in tax/subsidy on agricultural productivity depends upon their respective sensitivities, which is reflected through the value of Nominal Protection Coefficient (NPC). NPC is a ratio between border prices and prices received by the local producer. Using the data for the period 1971-2006, the study concludes that the government policy has insignificant effect on wheat production though the sign of its coefficient is positive.

Have Price Policies Damaged LDC Agricultural Productivity
TL;DR: This article examined agricultural policies in 18 developing countries over the period 1961-1985 and found considerable support for the hypothesis that unfavorable price policies have damaged agricultural performance in these countries, but with sufficident inconsistencies as to raise concern about the adequacy of the methods.

Prices and Productivity in Agriculture
TL;DR: In this article, a variable-coefficient, cross-country agricultural production function is estimated, with past price expectations among the determinants of the production coefficients, and it is shown that had these developing economies eliminated price interventions, agricultural productivity would have increased on average by about a fourth.

Agriculture in Development: A Coalitional Analysis
TL;DR: This paper found that consumers in poor nations spend a very large portion of their incomes on food, in many cases, in excess of 50 to 60 percent, and that specialization in the developing economies appears to have proceeded much further in the modern sector than it has in agriculture.
