THE IMPLICATION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS FOR JOINT AGRICULTURE-TIMBER PRODUCTIVITY IN THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON

This paper examines whether better property rights will increase joint productivity of agricultural and timber products in the Brazilian Amazon. Farrell output-based technical efficiency and technological progress measures are derived by using DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) for Amazonian counties and are regressed on non-discretional variables such as land title. Land title is found to significantly improve the technical efficiency.
