Alternative stochastic specifications of the frontier production function in the analysis of agricultural credit programs and technical efficiency

Taylor, Timothy T. - In: Journal of development economics 21 (1986) 1, pp. 149-160

The effect of subsidized credit on the technical efficiency of traditional farmers in Southeastern Brazil is analyzed. It is found that the choice of stochastic specification significantly influences inferences regarding the effect of subsidized credit on measured technical efficiency

The Joint Density of Two Functionals of a Brownian Motion

Abadir, Karim - Business School, University of Exeter - 1994

In time series containing an autoregressive unit root, almost all known statistics can be described in terms of two Wiener functionals. It is therefore crucial for us to know how these functionals are jointly distributed in terms of explicit formulae that can be manipulated analytically, that do...

Estimation of Aggregate U.S. Demands for Fertilizer, Pesticides, and Other Inputs: A Model for Policy Analysis

Rendleman, C. Matthew - Economic Research Service, Department of Agriculture - 1993

The method often proposed to meet environmental goals such as water quality improvement is input restriction, such as reduced fertilizer or pesticide use. Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models are potentially valuable tools to analyze the economic impact of such programs. However, to be...
