Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare alternative method of Total-Factor Productivity (TFP) Measurement in agriculture activity (farming). The TFP index calculation period covering 2011-2013. The data cover the period from 2011 to 2013. The research focus on comparative analysis of Malmquist, Hicks-Moorsteen and Färe-Primont model. The researches provides a regional analysis of the study. The results show that there is differences in productivity levels and dynamic of the trend, depending on the model chosen. This analysis suggests that selecting models and variables requires deeper analysis.
