Abstract

The existing literature on West Bengal's agricultural growth based on traditional growth analysis is limited in explaining the nature of any series. The object of the present study is to test any structural break in the growth path of area, production and yield of different crops, using the endogenous structural break approach over the period 1980-1981 to 2002-2003. All the series, except pulses yield, have different stationary process implying that only changes associated with pulse yield are sustained in nature and no certain conclusion can be made for other cases. The inter-crop disparities with respect to the break point are conspicuous.
