This paper applied an extended total factor productivity analysis to compare the resource use efficiency of alternative cropping systems in eastern Ethiopia. The results indicated considerable variation in resource use efficiency among cropping systems. Intercropping of sorghum with pulses in...

The productive efficiencies of traditional and hybrid maize producers in eastern Ethiopia are derived using an efficiency decomposition technique that we extend to account for scale effects. The paper illustrates the sensitivity of the conventional approach to scale effects. The results revealed...
