Descripción
This paper provides an empirical investigation into the long-standing notion of biases of
technical change in South African agriculture. The second order cost function is used to
derive relative bias measures between labour and machinery. The results suggest that large
machinery-using biases in technology have been developed with minimal labour-using biases.
