Abstract

This paper investigates whether primary education has any effect on maize production in Ivory Coast. The effect is analyzed by looking at production efficiency among farmers with primary school education benchmarked against farmers without any education. Using a Cobb- Douglas production function and maximum likelihood estimation method, the study shows that primary education has a positive effect on maize productivity.
