While farm-level empirical studies demonstrate the
contribution of Bt technology in increasing crop
productivity, there are still questions about its contribution
to long-term growth in productivity at the
macro-level. Our study examines major technological
and seed policy breakthroughs relevant for the cotton
crop, and reviews their impact on overall performance
of the cotton sector and agricultural biotechnology industry
in India. Using state-level panel data on cotton
production from all the major cotton-producing zones,
we provide empirical evidences on structural change
in the cotton yield since the introduction of Bt technology
and its impact on long-term growth in productivity
at the national leve
