Does More Educated Mean More Productive? Assessing the Effect of Education Level on the Productivity of Sample of Iraqi Farmers
Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 04
Abstract
This study aims to know if it is worth investing in tomato farmers’ education in Iraq. Two-stage analyses of the Data Envelopment Approach were used. In the first stage, scores of technical efficiency were obtained. In the next one, technical efficiency scores were regressed, using Tobit analysis, on educational factors to understand which factor can affect education. Data used in this study ranged from 1991 to 2016 and they were obtained from the FAO website. Results of the first stage showed that there is room for improving technical efficiency or increasing tomato output keeping the level of input the same. The second stage analysis showed that investing in increasing the basic education level of females can increase technical efficiency and eventually the output of tomatoes.
