Explaining agricultural productivity growth: an international perspective

Headey, Derek; Alauddin, Mohammad; Rao, D. S. Prasada - 2010

This article presents multi-output, multi-input total factor productivity (TFP) growth rates in agriculture for 88 countries over the 1970–2001 period, estimated with both stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and the more commonly employed data envelopment analysis (DEA). We find results with...

Efficiency and Input - and Output - Substitutability in English Higher Education 1996/97 to 2007/08: A Parametric Distance Function Approach

Johnes, J - Department of Economics, Management School - 2010

HEIs are likely to face tight fiscal constraints in the future. This paper uses random effects and stochastic frontier techniques to estimate an output distance function over the period 1997/97 to 2007/08 in order to investigate the efficiency of higher education institutions (HEIs) and to...

Technical and Economic Efficiency Measures under Short Run Profit Maximizing Behavior

Cherchye, Laurens; Kuosmanen, Timo; Leleu, Hervé - Institut de Recherche Économique et Sociale (IRES), … - 2010

The duality between measures of economic and technical efficiency has been extensively studied in the productive efficiency analysis. This duality ensures a meaningful interpretation of technical efficiency as economic efficiency evaluated at the most favourable shadow prices. This paper...
