Allocative Inefficiency and Tenure Arrangements in Irrigated Agriculture in Pakistan
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pakistan is home to one of the largest and most complex irrigation infrastructure systems in the world, consisting of 25 million hectares of irrigated agriculture, 56,000 kilometers of main canals, and tubewells in excess of 600,000. Nearly 100 million people depend on 107,000 water courses that are fed by 44 canal systems. Ineffective water management policies in the past have affected water availability and soil quality.

The estimation of output supply and inputs demand in farming sector with the assumption of full economic efficiency may result in false policy decisions. This article investigates the effects of irrigated wheat economic inefficiency on output supply and inputs demand in the period 2001-2009. After estimating the economic inefficiency by the use of production and cost stochastic models, the outp...
متن کاملRational Cost Inefficiency in Chinese Banks
According to a frequently cited finding by Berger et al (1993), X-inefficiency contributes 20% to cost-inefficiency in western banks. Empirical studies of Chinese banks tend to place cost-inefficiency in the region of 50%. Such estimates would suggest that Chinese banks suffer from gross cost inefficiency. Using a nonparametric bootstrapping method, this study decomposes cost-inefficiency in Ch...
متن کاملAnalysis of trends in technical and allocative efficiency: An application to Texas public school districts
We present a new DEA based method to analyze efficiency trends over time and differences across subgroups in a panel data setting. We employ a result that the aggregate technical and allocative inefficiency score equals the technical inefficiency when input quantities are aggregated into a single total input cost variable, and develop test procedures to evaluate the presence of allocative ineff...
متن کاملThe Case of Fixed - Asset Investment in China
This study attempts to measure the inefficiency associated with aggregate investment in a transitional economy. The inefficiency is decomposed into allocative and production inefficiency based on standard production theory. Allocative inefficiency is measured by disequilibrium investment demand. Institutional factors are then taken into consideration as possible explanatory variables of the dis...
