Aggregate Matching Efficiency: A Stochastic Production Frontier Approach, France 1990–1994

Farmers’ Health Status, Agricultural Efficiency, and Poverty in Rural Ethiopia A Stochastic Production Frontier Approach

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) was established in 1975. IFPRI is one of 15 agricultural research centers that receive principal funding from governments, private foundations, and international and regional organizations, most of which are members of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). IFPRI's research, capacity strengthening, and comm...

Comparative Analysis of Stochastic Frontier Partially non-parametric and Stochastic Frontier Parametric Methods Case Study: Measuring Cost Efficiency in Wheat Production in Iran

Measuring Eco-efficiency of Production: a Frontier Approach

Eco-efficiency of production is an important concept both from the viewpoint of society and business community; but as yet, there is no unambiguous way to its measurement. The purpose of this paper is to present a general measurement framework based on production theory and the activity analysis approach. Although we exploit the existing methods and techniques, our approach diverges essentially...

Evaluation Factors Affecting of Risk Production in Sistan Grape Growers by using Stochastic Frontier Approach

Due to agriculture is a risky activity and risk models is important in order to analyze the behavior of farmers, hence, in this study, the factors affecting risk-taking and risk aversion is the region grape growers. Data analysis was performed by using stochastic frontier. Data gathered by questionnaires at three counties of Zabol, Hirmand and Zahak at 265 grape farmers in crop year of 2011-201...

Technical and Economic Efficiency of Rice Production in the Kou Valley (burkina Faso): Stochastic Frontier Approach

The present paper seeks to deal with the issue of technical and economic efficiency of rice producers in the Kou valley, located in the region of the high basins in the western part of Burkina Faso. The stochastic frontier approach was used to estimate the production function, from a CobbDouglas stochastic frontier function and its dual which allow the estimation of the technical, allocative an...
