This study aims to analyze the technological differences in agricultural production between the municipalities in the semiarid and non-semiarid regions of Brazil's Northeast. It uses the technological meta-frontier model proposed by Battese, Rao e O'Donnell (2004), and O'Donnell, Rao e Battese...

In developing economies the purchase of a new machine by the firm can be a way of introducing a new product or processes. Under such considerations, this paper searches to measure the assumption of innovation via machine embodied technology, by verifying its impacts over the firm's productivity....

The objective of this paper is to use the techniques of Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to estimate the increase or decrease of inefficiencies through time, as well as the linear programming procedure Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Malmquist index in order to analyze the sources of...

Recent studies continue to indicate the existence of a narrow relationship between flexible work organizations and the economic growth, in particular, Sweden and Germany. The measure of this relationship is many times the result of the value added per worker. Therefore, the causes of economic...
