Abstract: Based on the agricultural time series data from 2002 to 2021, the transcendental logarithmic production function model was constructed and the ridge regression estimation method was used to effectively analyze the output elasticity, substitution elasticity and relative technological changes of various factors of agricultural production. The results showed that the output elasticity of land in China’s agricultural production factors was relatively high. The substitution elasticity between elements was above 1. Agricultural technology was inclined to labor-saving change. Therefore, agricultural production must adapt to local conditions, improve the spatial allocation of agricultural elements, strengthen the matching degree between technology and elements in agricultural production, improve agricultural productivity and realize a new model of sustainable agricultural production.

Key words: factor endowment, output elasticity, substitution elasticity, transcendental logarithmic production function
