Abstract
We measure regional productivity changes that reflect both economies of scale and multiregional productivity differences, in a case of rice production in South Korea. We calculate the multilateral input-based productivity (MIBP) index and themultilateral output-based productivity (MOBP) index. The results show that average annual growth rates of the national aggregate MIBP and MOBP are each less than 1%.
