Abstract
The study focuses on productivity differences due to farm size. Using farm
size data, it suggests that in Pakistan large farms are relatively more pro- ductive because of their greater use of .. non-traditional" inputs. The
input intensity of large farms derives from market distortion induced by
public policy. Agricultural policy should therefore Concentrate on eliminating market distortions, by measures like ceiling on land holdings and a wider diffusion of farm extension services and credit.
