Productivity , technical efficiency , and farm size in
This essay assesses the relationship between farm size and productivity. Both parametric and nonparametric methods are used to derive efficiency measures. Smaller farms are found to have higher net farm income per hectare, and to be more technically efficient, than larger farms. JEL Classifications: Q12, O12
متن کاملEfficiency and Technical Progress in Traditional and Modern Agriculture: Evidence from Rice Production in China
Productive efficiency for Chinese hybrid and conventional rice production is estimated using a dual stochastic frontier efficiency decomposition model. Results reveal significant differences in technical and allocative efficiency between conventional and hybrid rice production, and indicate significant regional efficiency differences in hybrid rice production, but not in conventional rice produ...
متن کاملHigher education, technical efficiency and total productivity changes: evidence from Iran's manufacturing industries
The purpose of this article was to estimate the effect of higher education on total productivity changes and technical efficiency in the 4-digit classification code of ISIC in Iran during the period of 1994-04. In this regard, a two-way stage approach was used. In the first stage, Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) and technical efficiency index by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic...

متن کاملDo contractual practices affect technical efficiency? Evidence from public transport operators in China
This paper presents a discussion on the causal effect of contractual practices on the technical efficiency of Chinese public transport operators. To test this proposition, an original panel data set covering 47 operators over the period 2008–2013 is used, we firstly estimate the technical efficiency based on the stochastic frontier approach in a time-varying form of the trans-log production fun...
