Productivity of factors in the enlarged EU

G. Blaas
Research Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics, Bratislava, Slovak Republic

The paper is examining the productivity of production factors in the EU-15 and some of the New Member States. International comparison shows that Slovakia is considerably lagging behind the EU-15 countries in the productivity of land and productivity of labour, but it is rather competitive in productivity of the fixed and variable capital. In order to get comparable data, the author adjusted figures on production of agricultural activities published in the Economic Accounts of Agriculture, and excluded the influence of different price - and support levels in the EU-15 and New Member Countries.

Keywords: production factor, agriculture, comparison, European Union, Economic Accounts for Agriculture
