Sources of wheat production technical inefficiency among smallholder farmers in Northwestern Ethiopia : beta regression approach

Endalew, Birara; Aynalem, Mezgebu; Anteneh, Adugnaw; … - In: Cogent economics & finance 11 (2023) 1, pp. 1-18

Wheat production is dominated by a subsistence smallholder production system. Additionally, more than 4.7 million … smallholder farmers are engaged in wheat production. However, poverty is chronic and pervasive among smallholder farmers. Hence …, targeting the efficiency of wheat production is the right strategy to improve the well-being of smallholder farmers. Therefore …

Smart Cities and a Stochastic Frontier Analysis: A Comparison among European Cities

Mundula, Luigi; Auci, Sabrina - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013

The level of interest in smart cities is growing, and the recent literature on this topic (Holland, 2008; Caragliu et al., 2009, Nijkamp et al., 2011 and Lombardi et al., 2012) identifies a number of factors that characterise a city as smart, such as economic development, environment, human capital,...

RESOURCE UTILIZATION BEHAVIOUR OF CASSAVA PRODUCERS IN EPE AREA OF LAGOS STATE: STOCHASTIC FRONTIER PRODUCTION FUNCTION APPROACH

Ogunbameru, A.; Okeowo, T.A. - African Association of Agricultural Economists - AAAE - 2013

The Stochastic frontier production function was used to assess the technical efficiency of cassava production in Epe Area of Lagos State, Nigeria. Results show that cassava farmers in the study area experienced increasing positive return-to-scale (2.2675. The study also reveals that a...

Impacts of Climate Change and Extreme Weather on U.S. Agricultural Productivity Growth

Wang, Sun Ling; Ball, Eldon; Nehring, Richard; … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2014

We employ state panel data for the period 1961-2004 to identify the role of climate change on U.S. agricultural productivity growth using a stochastic production frontier method. We examine the patterns of productivity changes and weather variations across regions and over time. Climate...

Do Stock Opiton Schemes Affect Technical Inefficiency? Evidence from Finland

Mäkinen, Mikko - Elinkeinoelämän Tutkimuslaitos (ETLA) - 2007

In this paper we study whether stock option schemes affect firm technical inefficiency. We estimate Cobb-Douglas stochastic production frontier models using a novel panel data set on the publicly listed Finnish firms in the manufacturing and ICT sectors over the period from 1992 to 2002. We find...

Interpreting and testing the scaling property in models where inefficiency depends on firm characteristics

Schmidt, Peter; Alvarez, Antonio; Amsler, Christine - Econometric Society - 2004

In this paper, we are interested in a stochastic frontier model in which observable characteristics of the firms affect their levels of technical inefficiency. Let u â‰¥ 0 be the one-sided error reflecting technical inefficiency, and let z be a set of variables that affect u. We write u as...

Productivity of hired and family labour and determinants of technical inefficiency in Ghana's fish farms

Onumah, Edward E.; Hoerstgen-Schwark, Gabriele; … - Institut für Agrarökonomie, Georg-August-Universität … - 2009

This paper examines the productivity of hired and family labour and determinants of technical inefficiency of fish farms in Ghana. A modified Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production function which accounts for zero usage of family and hired labour is employed on cross-sectional data of 150...

Misspecification in allocative inefficiency: A simulation study

Kutlu, Levent - In: Economics Letters 118 (2013) 1, pp. 151-154

We make an extensive simulation analysis in order to investigate the consequences of ignoring the potentially complex and data dependent effects of allocative inefficiency on the estimation of stochastic frontier panel data models. Generally system estimators perform worse than single equation...
