Deepening the Measurement of Technical Inefficiency in Private Farming in Georgia: Locally Parametric Regression
This study deepens the measurement of technical inefficiency in private maize farming in Georgia, applying iocelly parametric (LP) r eg ression method, whicb builds on the stochastic frantier production function appraach. Detailed survey data for 221 mixed farms for 1997 are used in the estimations. Findings suggest: (i) maize production can be further increased by breaking up large farms into ...
متن کاملA Model for Technical Inefficiency Effects in a Stochastic Frontier Production Function for Panel Data
A stochastic frontier production function is defined for panel data on firms, in which the non-negative technical inetGciency effects are assumed to be a function of firm-specific variables and time. The inefficiency effects are assumed to be independently distributed as truncations of normal distributions with constant variance, but with means which are a linear function of observable variable...
متن کاملA Post-Truncation Parameterization of Truncated Normal Technical Inefficiency
In this paper we consider a stochastic frontier model in which the distribution of technical inefficiency is truncated normal. In standard notation, technical inefficiency u is distributed as , . This distribution is affected by some environmental variables z that may or may not affect the level of the frontier but that do affect the shortfall of output from the frontier. We will distinguish th...
متن کاملAssessing technical inefficiency of bus transit with adjustment of accidents
In the light of occasional involvement of traffic accidents and of seldom costless to dispose such undesirable accidents, conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods, which assume that traffic accidents are freely disposable in bus transit efficiency measurement, may not be appropriate. To rectify this shortcoming, this paper attempts to construct directional output distance function m...
متن کاملPrevalence of asthma in iranian children: a meta-analysis and meta-regression
Background: Asthma is the most prevalent chronic disease in childhood and has been growing globally over the last three decades. Studies in this regard indicate different and irrelevant results in Iran. Different prevalence of asthma has been reported in industrialized countries, prevalence of 25.9% in the United Kingdom, 12.8% in Spain and 31% in Australia. This study aimed to evaluate asthma ...
