TY - JOUR AB - In production economics, one of the most interesting questions is that ofthe causal relationship between technical efficiency and allocative efficiency. This as yet remains a puzzle without aunique answer. There are a few theoretical analyses conceptualizing therelationship, but consensus has not yet been reached, and empirical tests arerare. Presents the empirical results of applying Granger’s (1969) andSims’ (1972) causality tests using time series data on technical andallocative efficiencies of random samples of Indian farmers. These causalitytests, with respect to technical and allocative effciences show that there is unidirectional causality from technical efficiency to allocative efficiency, and that the causative process is not bidirectional.
