摘要

The agricultural development of the grain-producing areas is the key to Chinese food security. Moreover, the increase of technical efficiency has become the most important driving power to promote the agriculture. Therefore, based on the quantitative appraisal on agricultural technical efficiency with the Malmquist Index model, this Paper takes Jilin Province as an Example to analyze the causal factors such as R&D investment, Human Capital and Institutional environment with the Tobit regression models.
