Data Sources and Methodology The above model focuses on the determinants of employment in the agricultural sector, for which time series data has been used from the period 1972–73 to 2009–10. Data required for estimation are collected from various sources. For example, aggregate agricultural employment data are compiled from various periodic estimates of NSSO and Census data. The data collected through the usual status approach are considered comparable to the population census estimates. Output, gross capital formation and net fixed capital stock at 1999–00 prices data are collected from National Account Statistics, Central Statistical Office, Government of India. Rainfall data are collected from Meteorological Department, Government of India. Data on high yielding varieties, irrigation and fertilizer values are sourced from various agricultural statistics. Data on agricultural export and import are provided by Director General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics, Ministry of Commerce and converted into 1999–00 prices through GDP deflator. In order to examine the above model specification equation, a simple OLS technique is employed. We used the Dickey–Fuller (DF) and Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) test for testing the stationarity of the variables to be used in regression (see Table 2). All the variables are found be stationary at the first difference.
