This volume, part of the prestigious Handbooks in Economics series, provides a comprehensive synthesis of research on agricultural production economics. It reflects decades of advancements in the field, moving beyond traditional farm management to address macro-level issues like technological innovation, structural change, and policy impacts. Key themes include: Production Theory: Quantitative modeling of agricultural technology and supply behavior (e.g., Mundlak’s chapter on production and supply) 12. Risk and Innovation: Risk management strategies (Moschini & Hennessy) and technology adoption processes (Sunding & Zilberman) 312. Institutional Factors: Land markets (Deininger & Feder), human capital (Huffman), and gender roles in rural households (Schultz) 212. Policy Linkages: Economic impacts of research/extension (Evenson) and credit constraints (Barry & Robison) 12.
