Descripción
Agricultural economists and others engaged in agricultural research frequently have
occasion to analyze the effect of changes in acreage and yield on crop production. This
article describes a method of deriving statistical measures that summarize the relative
influence of acreage and yield changes, respectively, on year-to-year variation in production.
This method is applied to an analysis of several major crops to illustrate how
the effect on production of changes in acreage and yield may be evaluated.
