The study employed a Stochastic Frontier Production approach to determine the future investment strategies that can enhance the production of rice in Punjab, Pakistan. The data is collected from 200 farmers in the year of 2005 from two Tehsils of Sheikhupura district which is one of the major rice growing districts of Punjab province. The results of stochastic production function indicate that ...

This paper provides estimation method to measure technical efficiency of production units and the speed of adjustment of output, both varying with time, from a dynamic stochastic production frontier that incorporates the sluggish adjustment of inputs. Using a panel dataset on private manufacturing establishments in Egypt, I find that the speed of adjustment of output is lower than unity in ever...

Stochastic production frontier models are widely used in microeconometrics and, the last decades, have been proven to be versatile their range of applications. However, there few studies concerning endogeneity stochastic models. Here we present two with endogenous variables based on main distributions for technical inefficiency. We also derive analytic gradient vectors obtain best performance a...

The article focuses on evaluating the technical efficiency of garlic production in northwest Ethiopia. average yield region was lower than its potential, indicating a need to improve farming practices. Data were collected from 359 producers using random sampling. Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier function used estimate efficiency, which found be 73%. This means that about 27% potential output lo...

the world have experienced phenomenal expansion. The aggregated market capitalization of all national equity markets has grown from less than US$1 trillion in 1974 to over US$16 trillion by the end of 1997. Exhibit 1 presents evidence of the increase in market capitalization experienced by both developed and emerging markets. The process of growth in global equity markets is still imperfectly u...

Red chili is one of the leading commodities that has high economic value, it also much needed and in demand by community. However, production productivity red chilies Sawang District, North Aceh Regency still low at 5.53 tons/ha, compared to average 13 tons/ha. The purpose this study was analyze factors influence technical efficiency farming Regency. Sampling carried out using census method, wh...

This study aims to analyze the influence of production factors on production, achievement technical efficiency levels, and age, education, counseling inefficiencies onion farming in Demak Regency. The samples were 99 people. taken three districts which Mijen, Karanganyar, Gajah. method data analysis used is stochastic frontier function. results shows land, seeds, labor, pesticides have a positi...
