Efficiency and technical progress in traditional and modern agriculture: evidence from rice production in China

Productive efficiency for Chinese hybrid and conventional rice production is estimated using a dual stochastic frontier efficiency decomposition model. Results reveal significant differences in technical and allocative efficiency between conventional and hybrid rice production, and indicate significant regional efficiency differences in hybrid rice production, but not in conventional rice production. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
