Price incentives non price factors and agricultural production in Sub Saharan Africa: a cointegration analysis This paper deals with the question of how responsive farmers in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) are to changes in incentives. Employing Johansens multivariate cointegration approach it investigates for ten selected SSA countries the long run effect of pricing policies macroeconomic distortions and certain non price factors on agricultural production. It turns out that in those cases where cointegration relationships are found estimated supply elasticities tend to lie between 0.20 and 0.50. Among the non price factors drought episodes have significantly impaired agricultural growth in six out of ten sample countries.
