The new data series of input-output, price and factor income of Thai agriculture from 1950 to 1997 are constructed in this book. By applying this data set to the innovation accounting, the growth process of Thai agriculture is well explained by a standard neoclassical theory. The constructed data series are not only useful for studying historical aspects of Thai agricultural growth but also for providing solutions to the problems of the current and future Thai economy.
