  1. Notes: The dependent variable is productivity growth rate ln(Y it ) − ln(Yit − T), where Y it represents the productivity of country i at time t. Productivity is measured through the value added per worker (constant 2000 US dollars) in the agricultural sector. Robust standard errors are reported in parenthesis. The symbols “***”, “**”, and “*” denote statistical significance at the 1%, 5%, and 10% levels, respectively.
