This paper demonstrates the sensitivity of the linear programming approach in the estimation of productivity measures … series data from 1960-2004 reveal productivity change decreases with increases in the number of constraints. Divergence in … productivity measures is observed due to the choice of method imposed, various levels of commodity/input aggregation, and …

In this article we perform production efficiency analysis for the 40 countries with largest value added by agricultural sector in 2005. Under the assumption of a nonparametric frontier and production observations satisfying a statistical model including both random and inefficiency errors, we...

We consider a non-stationary sequential stochastic optimization problem, in which the underlying cost functions change over time under a variation budget constraint. We propose an $L_{p,q}$-variation functional to quantify the change, which yields less variation for dynamic function sequences...
