Abstract

Data on 214 Thai rice farmers were analyzed using production theory and regression tedhnique. Technical and allocative efficiencies were tested, and it wad revealed that types of land ownership had significant effects on allocative efficiencies of conventional inputs among owners, part owners, and renants. Level of schooling did not explain productivity differences. That tenants were most efficient technically was attributed to externalities of farming such as mechanization.
