The Incidence of Benefits from U.S. Soybean Productivity Gains in a Context of World Trade
提出测量新技术供给曲线K移动的新方法，发现1974-1983年美国大豆全要素生产率年增1.6%，巴西和阿根廷年增2.4%，全球经济剩余增加17-32亿美元，其中美国资源所有者获得13-15亿美元，消费者获得1-2亿美元。
Abstract A new procedure for measuring the “K‐shift” in the supply function from new technology is introduced. This procedure is used to show that U.S. soybean total factor productivity increased by 1.6% per year between 1974 and 1983. Brazilian and Argentine soybean productivity increased 2.4% per year during this period. Total economic surplus in the U.S and the rest of the world increased between $@@‐@@1.7 and $@@‐@@3.2 billion. Of this total, U.S. resource owners received between $@@‐@@1.3 and $@@‐@@1.5 billion and U.S. consumers received between a $@@‐@@0.1 and $@@‐@@0.2 billion increase in income from increased soybean productivity.
