- Abstract
- This study measured the net productivity of labor and land in Parana State and in its ten mesoregions in 2006, using data from Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and Rural Economy Department from the Secretary of State for Agriculture and Supply of Paraná (DERAL). We used multiple linear regression models to determine the influence of factors of production in value added in value of output and in the productivity of labor and land. It was found that productivity grew in the State of Parana and in most of their mesoregions, except Western Center. There was a significant variance as to the productivity of land and labor between the meso. Finally, the general analysis of the estimates showed that the variables "machinery and equipment", "installations and improvements" and "permanent culture", played an important role in the value added of agriculture in Parana. Key words: productivity, agriculture, Paraná Classificação JEL: Q10
