Agriculture is one of the main economic sectors in Türkiye. Therefore, a performance evaluation essential for an improvement agricultural sector. In this study, productivity Turkish sector was analyzed years between 2006-2015. A non-parametric technique, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) based Malmquist index method, applied to calculate Total Factor Productivity (TFP) indices agriculture 26 NUTS...

In many real applications, the data of production processes can't be precisely measured.We develop some fuzzy versions of the classical DEA models (in particular, the CCRmodel) by using some ranking methods based on the comparison of cuts. Our approachescan be seen as an extension of the DEA methodology. The provides users and practitionerswith models which represent some real life processes mo...

When considering the linkage between innovation and productivity, the relationship is often termed as the knowledge production function in the endogenous growth literature. In this article, we approach the issues involved through the aspects of the standard neoclassical production theory. The advantage is that the basic properties required of ordinary production function can be employed to infe...

This paper analyzes the labor productivity of Swiss university departments between 1995 and 2007. Using a parametric input distance function we estimate and decompose the Malmquist productivity indexes in line with Fuentes et al. (2001) and Atkinson et al. (2003). By contrast to those studies, this paper proposes a panel data specification to account for unobserved heterogeneity across producti...
