Types of education and agricultural productivity: A quantitative analysis of Tamil Nadu rice farming
通过分析泰米尔纳德邦水稻种植数据，发现农民的正规教育水平对产量影响不显著，而非正规教育（技术理解）则显著影响产量。
With a yield function that gave a maximum attainable yield, and the yield performance of the farmers in relation to this, and with multiple classification analysis of the differences between the maximum and actual yields, it was found that the level of formal education of farmers was not a significant factor, but that farmers’ non‐formal education (understanding of the technology), which was independent of formal education, was a significant influence.
