Background: Agriculture plays a key role in Colombia's economy. However, the sector faces persistent logistics, infrastructure, and supply chain integration challenges that hinder its development. While background studies have primarily addressed socio-economic needs and strategies to overcome...

Background: Managing multiproduct pipeline systems is a complex task of critical importance in the petroleum industry. Experts frequently rely on simulation tools to design and validate pumping operation schedules. However, existing tools are often problem-specific and too slow to be effectively...

Technical efficiency measures the performance of an observation unit in generating outputs effectively. The stochastic production frontier (SPF), which is a commonly used method for this purpose, determines how close a unit is to achieving maximum output based on its inputs. However, the...

This article estimates the impact of a policy change on an event probability in a difference-in-differences hazard model using four estimators. We examine the error distributions of the estimators via a simulation experiment with twelve different scenarios. In four simulation scenarios when all...
