The study applies the single-stage modelling stochastic frontier approach to investigate the performance of maize farmers in the Ejura-Sekyedumase District of Ghana. It estimates the level of technical efficiency and its determinants for 306 maize farmers. Findings indicated that land, labour...

The paper strives to introduce opportunities for information support of regions by means of a map output within www application. It presents a recent solution of a map portal using a database of organic farms in the Czech Republic. The map outputs are visualized by means of a new version of the...

Akaike’s Information Criteria provide a basis for choosing between competing approaches to testing for price asymmetry. However, very little research has been undertaken to understand its performance in the price transmission modelling context. In addressing this issue, this paper...

The aim of this paper is to estimate based on panel data from 2005–2012 the inefficiency and efficiency of biodynamic farms and compare it to the organic. Using stochastic frontier analysis and t-test we tested whether the biodynamic farms are less efficient in using their inputs than...

Stated preference scenarios often provide information on intermediate biophysical processes but omit information on the resulting final services that provide utility. This may cause respondents to speculate about the effects of intermediate outcomes on their welfare, leading to biased welfare...

Olive growing is the main agricultural activity in Andalusia, although the systems used are far from homogenous. Indeed, technological and natural characteristics have led to the implementation of several growing systems. Our goal is to analyze the efficiency of the two most important systems in...

Agriculture has always been exposed to a wide spectrum of risks. But it is largely undisputed that farmers have faced growing risks in recent years. More volatile agricultural and input prices, climate change, ongoing discussions about the future of the Common Agricultural Policy, increasing...

The aim of the paper was to analyse spatial price transmission in the wheat market in Poland and Germany. The analysis was conducted with the use of weekly milling and feed wheat price series and cointegration framework. The results confirm high linkage between prices in Poland and Germany as...

The main goal of this study was to analyze the soybean price transmission between different cities of MatoGrosso – MT, Brazil, considering the existence of transaction costs. This state was chosen due to its high production and soybeans processing capacity. In order to capture the...
