Land Reform in the Presence of Monitoring Costs and International Trade

Chau, Nancy H. - 1998

This paper elucidates the implications of transaction costs in agrarian labor hiring activities in a two-sector model of international trade and identifies a link between the size distribution of land and intersectoral allocation of productive inputs. Ceteris paribus, a more unequal distribution...

Incentive Regulation and Productive Efficiency in the U.S. Telecommunications Industry

Majumdar, Sumit Kumar - 1998

This study evaluates the effect of incentive regulation on the productivity of U.S. local exchange carriers between 1988 and 1993. Introducing pure price-cap schemes has a strong and positive, but lagged, effect on technical efficiency. Where price-cap schemes operate in conjunction with an...

A Nonparametric Efficiency Analysis for a Sample of Kansas Swine Operations

Rowland, William W.; Langemeier, Michael R.; Schurle, … - 1998

This study evaluates the economic competitiveness of a sample of Kansas farrow-to-finish operations by estimating relative firm efficiency using nonparametric mathematical programming techniques. Measures of technical, allocative, scale, economic, and overall efficiency are then related to farm...

Fuzzy Frontiers of Production : Evidence of Persistent Inefficiency in Safety Expenditures

Ichniowski, Casey - 1984

This study documents a strong inverse relationship between accident rates and production in a sample of eleven firms in the same narrowly defined industry classification. Given the detailed set of input controls and controls for plant-specific and time-specific factors used in the analysis, the...
