dc.description.abstract [EN] This paper examines the inverse relationship hypothesis (IR-H) between farm size and agricultural productivity in Nicaragua using parametric and nonparametric methods designed specifically for panel data. The data employed are from the World Bank s Living Standards Measurement Study for the years 1998, 2001 and 2005. The analysis reveals strong support for the IR-H based on a number of alternative parametric specifications. The results from the nonparametric models lend partial support to the IR-H,and such support is weaker than what is obtained from the parametric models, particularly among medium and large landholders. es_ES

Los datos provienen del Living Standards Measurement Study del Banco Mundial para los años 1998, 2001 y 2005. El análisis revela un claro apoyo para la H-RI basado en una serie de especificaciones paramétricas. Los resultados de los modelos no paramétricos también apoyanla H-RI; sin embargo, estos últimos proporcionan soporte parcial y más débil particularmente para los propietarios medianos y grandes. es_ES
