envelopment analysis (DEA) by presenting a cluster-adjusted DEA model (DEA with cluster approach). This analysis, based on … consisting of 122 U.S agricultural banks across 37 states from 2000 to 2017 to estimate the cluster-adjusted DEA model. Empirical … results show differences in the estimated DEA efficiency measures with and without a clustering approach. Furthermore, using …

Agricultural inputs are peculiar in nature as an asymmetry in their roles can be identified during the production process. These inputs can be grouped into a set of growth inputs or a set of facilitating inputs. The inputs affecting biological or physiological growth from the inside of the plant...
