cotton as a strategic product plays an important role inthe economy of boshrouyehwhere is known as the major cotton producing center of khorasan-e-jonoubi. in this paper, efficiency of boshroyeh cotton farms in 2007 have been calculated using data envelopment analysis (dea) and determinants of efficiency were identified using tobit regression analysis. the data was collected from questionnaires...

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...

DEA Cobb-Douglas frontier and cross-efficiency

The current paper examines the cross-efficiency concept in data envelopment analysis (DEA). While cross-efficiency has appeal as a peer evaluation approach, it is often the subject of criticism, due mainly to the use of DEA weights that are often non-unique. As a result, cross-efficiency scores are routinely viewed as arbitrary in that they depend on a particular set of optimal DEA weights gene...
