Abstract
This study uses pooled time series data for wetland rice in java to an alyse the sensitivity of yield and input demand elasticities to differ ences in the specification of farmers' expectations, in alternative da ta sources and in the functional forms used in the estimation. The res ults show that yield and fertiliser input elasticities are less fragil e than those of labour demand, which are quite sensitive to data and m odel specifications.
