Descripción
Relying on the frontier production approach, we investigated the performance of the agricultural sector in 28
transition countries and its changes over time, especially focusing on the dynamics of productivity changes and
the effects of reform policy. Our findings are: (i) Asian and CEE transition countries performed better than CIS
countries, while the performance improvement of CEE countries seems to be more prominent compared to that of
Asian and CIS countries; (ii) The productivity growth is mainly attributable to the technical progress, particularly
in CEE countries; (iii) Reform policy and industrial transformation seems to have positive effects on the
performance of agricultural sector and its changes; (iv) The initial conditions do matter.
