Energy and non-energy input substitution possibilities and output scale effects in Canadian agriculture
1982
Lopez, R.E. | Tung, F.
Extract: A generalized Leontief cost function was used to investigate energy and non-energy input substitution possibilities and output scale effects on factor demand in Canadian agriculture. The findings indicate that an effective energy conservation measure would be the encouragement of production practices oriented to use more labor and land intensive techniques rather than using more agricultural chemicals for reducing cultivation practices.
