Sustainable intensification measures promise ecological improvements of farming while maintaining profitability. That is, farms should be able to produce at a higher ecological efficiency without losses in economic efficiency. Based on a theoretical framework, we investigate this promise...

The existing literature on dynamic efficiency is deterministic and ignores uncertainty when deriving dynamic efficiency measures, even though it is known that uncertainty affects the optimal adjustment path and the optimal use of quasi-fixed factors. Here, we contribute to closing this gap by...

In diesem Paper werden die Effizienz und totale Faktorproduktivität (TFP) der ukrainischen landwirtschaftlichen Unternehmen im Zuge des Transformationsprozesses in die Marktwirtschaft betrachtet. Dabei werden die Effizienzen mittels der Data Envelopment Analysis analysiert und die Änderungen...

This article examines the efficiency of wind energy production. We quantify production losses in four wind parks across Germany for 19 wind turbines with non-convex efficiency analysis. In a second stage regression, we adapt the linear regression results of Kneip, Simar, Wilson (2014) to explain...
