中文摘要：

基于随机前沿模型（SFA）,文章对1985-2008年中国29个省级地区农业生产效率进行测算和全要素生产率分解。研究表明,中国农业生产效率总体水平不高,尚有较大的提升空间;存在较为显著的时际差异和区际差异;农业全要素生产率与技术进步率均有提高,但增幅较缓;全要素生产率增长的根本动因在于技术进步率而非技术效率,农业生产仍不具有规模经济性。

英文摘要：

Based on the panel data of China＇s 29 regions during 1985-2008,this paper measures the agriculture efficiency and decomposes the total factor productivity by using the stochastic frontier production function.The analysis result is that general level of agriculture efficiency is low in China and still has a larger space for improving;discrepancy is evident in different period and different regions;total factor productivity and technology progress have improved but more moderate growth;technology progress is the main driving force of the growth of total factor productivity other than technical efficiency,there is not scale economies in agricultural.
