Productivity growth, technical change and efficiency change of the Malaysian cage fish farming: an application of Malmquist Productivity Index approach
The demand for animal protein especially fish is expanding due to the population growth, increased incomes and changes in eating habits and life styles. The capture fisheries in Malaysia which supply over 70 % of the fish used for food are over-exploited, and the yield has become stagnant over the last decades and in some cases it has even declined. In addition, the balance of trade for the pas...
متن کاملTechnical Efficiency of Organic Farming in the Alpine Region – the Impact of Farm Structures and Policies
The paper investigates the impact of subsidies and of para-agriculture on the technical efficiency of organic farms in Switzerland, Austria and Southern Germany. The data-set consists of bookkeeping data with 1,704 observations in the years 2003 to 2005. Technical efficiency is modelled using a stochastic distance-frontier model combined with a Metafrontier-model. The results show almost no eff...
متن کاملTechnical efficiency and conversion to organic farming: the case of France
Using a sample of French crop farms during the 1999-2007 period, we test whether farmers’ technical efficiency under conventional practices is a significant driver of conversion to organic farming. An important issue is whether subsidies to organic farming could encourage inefficient farmers to convert. We find that the probability of conversion does depend on technical efficiency preceding the...
