Abstract

The aim of this study was to calculate inputs' productivity and production elasticity in industrial farms in Chaharmahal and Bakhtaran province. The random sampling method is simple and the sample size is determined based on the Cochran formula of 86 dairy farms. Data were collected using a questionnaire and a census questionnaire. MIDAS regression model is used to analyze the data. To measure the traction and productivity of production institutions, the transcendental production function, as well as the fit of the model and the variables are meaningful, were used, respectively, from the F and t statistics. The results of this study indicate that the final productivity of the last breeder, labor force, drug and health services and consumption of concentrate in the tested dairy farms is positive, but the final consumption of fuel and fodder and crude oil is negative. Also, for 26.4% of dairy farms, the total factor productivity is less than one, and these dairy farms are at a disadvantage.

Keywords

• Marginal Productivity
• transcendental production function
