Abstract
The objective of this study is to compare the differences in agricultural productivity changes between nine centrally planned countries - Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East

total factor productivity - were constructed for this study. Although labor productivity and land productivity are expressions of output per unit of a single input, they are major components of total factor productivity which is commonly used as an indicator of technical change. The two partial productivity ratios also serve as indicators of the
direction of technological change...
