Resumo: | This paper assesses total factor productivity (TFP) growth in India, examines the  sources of productivity growth, including public and private investment, and estimates the  rates of return to public investments in agriculture.  The results show that significant TFP  growth in the Indian crops sector was produced by investments -- primarily in research -- but  also in extension, markets, and irrigation.  The high rates of return, particularly to public  agricultural  research  and  extension,  indicate  that  the  Government  of  India  is  not  over  investing in agricultural research and investment, but rather that current levels of public  investment could be profitably expanded.
