A Metafrontier Production Function for Estimation of Technical Efficiencies of Wheat Farmers under Different Technologies
The paper presents a metafrontier production function model for farm’s different groups having different technologies. The metafrontier model enables the computation of comparable technical efficiencies for farms operating under different technologies. The model also enables the technology gaps to be estimated for wheat farms under different technologies relative to the potential technology ava...
متن کاملThe Capital Structure of Insurers :
This paper develops and tests a theory of insurers' choice of the mix of equity and liabilities. The role of equity in insurance markets (and in our model) is to back insurers' promises to pay claims when there is aggregate uncertainty, or dependence among risks. Depending on the nature of this aggregate uncertainty, the equity held by rms in a competitive insurance market may increase with ris...
متن کاملInfluences of the business environment on manufacturing firms technical efficiencies: the Côte d’Ivoire case
In this paper we estimate a stochastic production frontier in a panel of manufacturing firms in Côte d’Ivoire. Our main interest is on the impact of the business environment on technical efficiency levels. Moreover the chosen modeling allows us to derive managerial efficiencies, and then define most efficient firms independently of business environment influences. A non-neutral modeling of the ...
متن کاملWhat are the Technical and Allocative Efficiencies of Public Health Centres in Ghana?
INTRODUCTION Health systems in developing countries including Ghana are faced with critical resource constraints in pursuing the goal of improving the health status of the population. The constrained ability to adequately meet health care needs is exacerbated by inefficiency in the health care systems, especially within public health centres. METHODS The study used Data Envelopment Analysis (...
متن کاملInvestigating technical and scale efficiencies of Australian Universities through data envelopment analysis
Performance indicators in the public sector have often been criticised for being inadequate and not conducive to analysing efficiency. The main objective of this study is to use data envelopment analysis (DEA) to examine the relative efficiency of Australian universities. Three performance models are developed, namely, overall performance, performance on delivery of educational services, and pe...
