Fuzzy Modeling in the Agro-Climatic Domain
Fuzzy Modeling is an effective approach for System Identification. In its turn, Data Driven Fuzzy Modeling (DDFM) extracts these models from a set of input-output observations about the system. One way to carry out a DDFM process is by means of a combination of techniques, each one solving one of the DDFM phases. In this paper, we apply hybridizations of clustering algorithms and neural network...
متن کاملEstimation of Technical Inefficiencies with Heterogeneous Technologies
This paper considers the measurement of firm’s specific (in)efficiency while allows for the possible heterogeneous technologies adopted by different firms. A flexible stochastic frontier model with random coefficients is proposed to distinguish technical inefficiency from technological differences across firms. Posterior inference of the model is made possible via the simulation-based approach,...
متن کاملClimatic Fluctuations and the Diffusion of Agriculture.
This research examines the climatic origins of the diffusion of Neolithic agriculture across countries and archaeological sites. The theory suggests that a foraging society's history of climatic shocks shaped the timing of its adoption of farming. Specifically, as long as climatic disturbances did not lead to a collapse of the underlying resource base, the rate at which hunter-gatherers were cl...
متن کاملFarms’ Technical Inefficiencies in the Presence of Government Programs
We focus on determining the impacts of government programs on farms’ technical inefficiency levels. We use Kumbhakar’s (2002) stochastic frontier model that accounts for both production risks and risk preferences. Our theoretical framework shows that decoupled government transfers are likely to increase (decrease) DARA (IARA) farmers’ production inefficiencies if variable inputs are risk decrea...
