Agriculture‐led growth: foodgrains versus export crops in Madagascar
比较了马达加斯加不同农业发展战略的增长效应，发现投资水稻比咖啡能多创造40%到100%的GDP，并带来更多就业和更公平的收入分配。
Abstract This article compares the growth‐generating power of alternative agricultural development strategies in Madagascar. Projections from a semi‐input–output model and a recently developed social accounting matrix suggest that both paddy and export crops stimulate strong linkages with other sectors of the Malagasy economy. But since paddy output can be increased at lower cost, investment in rehabilitating small irrigated rice perimeters generates 40% to 100% more gdp than a comparable investment in coffee production. Paddy also generates greater employment and a more equitable income distribution.
