This paper analyzes the impact of a Weather-Based Crop Insurance Scheme (WBCIS) on Technical Efficiency (TE) smallholder groundnut farmers in context climate change India. We use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to study TE farmers, which range between 0.58 and 1, with mean 0.79. Using Propensity Score Matching (PSM) technique, we find that improves when they participate WBCIS using three matchi...

this paper is concerned with the estimation of frontier production function to measure the technical efficiency for iranian textile companies during 1995. the objective of this estimation is to investigate if there are any differences in the technical efficiency between the private and public firms as well as the relationship between technical efficiency and size of textile companies in iran. a...

This study examines the impact of participation in short supply chains (SSCs) on technical efficiency (TE) and technological change (TC) cucumber production China, using data for period 2011–2016. The meta-frontier model two-stage residual inclusion approach are utilized to examine association between SSC participation, comparable TE, TC. Accounting selection bias, we show that significantly de...

Using mariculture data from China’s nine coastal provinces from 2003 to 2015, this paper first evaluates the technical efficiency through data envelopment analysis (DEA). Then, this paper analyses the spatial spillover effect of technical efficiency and its influencing factors with a spatial panel Durbin model (SDM). The results indicate that there are obvious regional differences in the techni...

This article seeks to assess the efficiency of 23 South African public universities using a Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) model for period 2009–2016. A recent study on this subject matter found decline in average TE score from 83 per cent 2009 78 2013. However, did not account non-academic staff among other input variables that are assumed potentially influence performance outcomes universities....

The objective of this study is to determine factors affecting the technical efficiency of the inshore fisheries in Kuala Terengganu. Data for the study was collected from a survey conducted between June and August 2007 where 100 fishermen in 14 villages were chosen by stratified sampling. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Tobit analysis were employed to determine the technical efficiency leve...

abstract quantitative analysis of production through evaluating the level of factor usage is a major part in agricultural management, which aims at increasing production by optimum usage of resources. this study has estimated and analyzed stochastic frontier production function and calculated technical efficiency of semi-mechanized broiler farms located in gorgan district. the survey data were ...

A simple example of a stochastic game with irreversibility is studied and it is shown that the folk theorem fails in a robust way. In this game of Castle on the Hill, for a broad range of discount factors, including those close to one, equilibrium is unique. Moreover, the equilibrium for large discount factors is Pareto dominated by the equilibrium for low discount factors. A unique cyclic equi...

technical and scale efficiencies of cotton farms, in khorasan province, were estimated through the parametric approach during the period 2000-2003. efficiency was estimated through stochastic translog frontier production function based on panel data. results indicated that technical efficiency wa rated as less than scale efficiency. means of technical and scale efficiency were found to be 63 an...

results of an evaluation of the impact of agricultural science and technology (as and t) policy system institutions on efficiency and technical change in kenyan and ugandan agriculture are presented here. data envelopment analysis was used to derive efficiency and technical change and logistic regression applied to delineate as and t institutions that induced efficiency and technical progress. ...
