This study is devoted to the estimation of acreage response functions for cotton. In respect of cotton production, it is confined to the important districts of Bombay, Poona dn Nagpur divisions and to the Maharashtra state as a whole.
The current year cotton acreage was mainly explained by its previous year price and yield relative to jowar and bajara. A time-trend variable, to take care of unquantified technological change, was also included in acreage response functions. Data on prices, yields and acreage for the period 1950-51 through 1969-70 were taken from various publications of the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Ministry of Agriculture. The adjustment lag models and some traditional models were used for evaluating the acreage response functions. These functions were estimated for the original values of the variables and for logarithmic values, using the classical least square approach.
