A form for homogeneous functions is presented which shows them to be a very simple extension of the wellknown Cobb-Douglas functions with similar properties in production (and distribution) economics. This form thus suggests new possibilities for interpreting a wide variety of empirical and theoretical results in economics; it also provides contact with developments in other fields, such as inf...

This paper follows Jones (2005) in his approach to deriving the global production function from microfoundations. His framework is generalized by allowing for dependence between the Pareto distributions of laborand capital-augmenting developments. Using the Clayton copula family to capture this dependence, we derive a “Clayton-Pareto” class of production functions that nests both the Cobb-Dougl...

An attempt was made to determine the overall farm-specific technical efficiency or inefficiency of onion farms of Bangladesh. Farm-level data were used for the estimation of the parameters of Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production function. The model for technical inefficiency effects in the stochastic frontier included age, experience, education, and farm size. The elasticity of output wi...

The current study deals with the technical efficiency of cotton farmers operating on Harran Plain Turkiye an application to two well-known stochastic approaches, i.e., Cobb-Douglas and translog frontier production functions. Using farm-level cross-sectional data, a specialized maximum likelihood technique incorporates both frontiers inefficiency effects models into single equation model estimat...

This paper presents an analysis of technical efficiency and technology gap ratio (TGR) in greenhouse cucumber in Fars Province, Iran. Cucumber production was chosen for this study for the reason that greenhouse productions in this provincemainly have focused on this product. The data used in this study was obtained from a random sample of 127 greenhouses in Fars Province for 2010 to 2011. Metaf...

The current paper examines the cross-efficiency concept in data envelopment analysis (DEA). While cross-efficiency has appeal as a peer evaluation approach, it is often the subject of criticism, due mainly to the use of DEA weights that are often non-unique. As a result, cross-efficiency scores are routinely viewed as arbitrary in that they depend on a particular set of optimal DEA weights gene...

Researchers have recently focused their attention on the chicken producers' inability to produce in sufficient quantities and quality, which contributes high price of locally produced chickens. The study investigated profit efficiency broiler farms Ondo state, Nigeria. In order collect cross-sectional data from sixty owners poultry area between October 2021 January 2022 for production year, a m...

The aim of this paper is to use the concept of the metafrontier function to study the determination of efficiency differentials and Technological Gap Ratio (TGR) on wheat production in Khorasan Razavi province. In this study, we used the metafrontier function and group frontier based on the concept of Stochastic Nonparametric Envelopment of Data analysis (StoNED). The data used in this stud...
