Capacity of garden productions in Iran is such that is accounted as a country that produces thirteen garden products in the world but despite excellent condition in Iran for producing garden products, natural disasters damage production of fruits in the country therefore farmers incur a loss. Pistachio tree has been in danger of destruction and dryness. Thus, in order to reduce loss incurred on...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the productivity change for agricultural cooperatives in Japan measured by nonparametric outputoriented Malmquist indices of total factor productivity. The productivity change is decomposed into technical change and technical efficiency change. Linear programming techniques are used to calculate the productivity change using a panel data set for 49 agricu...

this paper is concerned with the estimation of total factor productivity (tfp) growth for the iranian electric utilities during the period 1980-1993 on the basis of panel data. a translog cost function is used which accommodates firm - specific variability through a one - way error component model. the results show that the iranian electricity supply industry experienced increasing returns to s...

Growth in total factor productivity (TFP) indicates the sustainable and/or judicious use of scarce resources, including non-renewables. This paper identifies sources growth global agricultural TFP and its finer components, ranging from climate, production environment, socio-economic factors, using a panel data 104 countries, covering 45-year period (1969–2013); and, finally, projects changes in...

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of Nigerian insurance companies using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Because of the unavailability of the required data, the study is limited to ten Nigerian insurance companies for the period of five years from 2008 to 2012. The input employed were commission expenses and management expenses, while premium and investment income...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the productive efficiency of two types of firms in China --foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) and state-owned enterprises (SOEs), using a stochastic frontier production function model and the latest statistical data (1993-97). It has found that the FIEs in general outperformed SOEs in productive efficiency, as demonstrated by the differentials in t...

During last two and half decades (1990–2016), the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of livestock sector has grown at an annual rate 3.9%. However, there are significant variations in it across states. It is estimated very high Tamil Nadu (8.7%), Andhra Pradesh (7.6%) & Odisha extremely low Jammu Kashmir (0.6%), Himachal (−0.4%) Bihar (−4.3%). Interestingly, TFP growth been driven by technical cha...

There is an “export productivity paradox” in Chinese enterprises, which has been confirmed agricultural enterprises. This paper attempts to explain this phenomenon from the perspective of components TFP. uses SFA-Malmquist method decompose and compare TFP China’s export enterprises based on data state-level leading 2016 2017. The conclusions are as follows: firstly, shows a negative growth tren...

Improving agricultural total factor productivity is essential to achieving the high-quality and sustainable development of agriculture. As major global producers, G20 countries play an important role in product trade development. such, it well-positioned a positive improving productivity. This paper uses DEA-Malmquist index method measure (TFP) from 2010 2019, analyzes impact on TFP using two-w...

This study empirically measures and analyzes determinants of productivity changes the co-operatives across all 34 provinces in Indonesia over 2015-2020 period using a-two stage approach. In first stage, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Meanwhile, second utilizes a panel regression model to measure analyze Indonesia. The recorded that have experienced 9.7% increase their Total Factor Productivit...
