Determinants of Agricultural Growth in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand

The introduction of new high-yielding varieties of cereals in the 1960s, known as the green revolution. Changed dramatically the food supply I Asia, as well as in other countries. The authors examine over an extended period, the growth consequences...
