Quota Trading and Profitability: Theoretical Models and Applications to Danish Fisheries [PDF]
Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), we provide a framework to analyze the potential gains from quota trading. We compare the industry profit and structure before and after a free trade reallocation of production quotas.

ABSTRACT Preservice elementary science teachers' beliefs and practices influence the kinds of adaptations they make to curriculum materials and the extent to which they are able to enact justice‐oriented science lessons. Through this qualitative study, we explored the beliefs and practices of five focal preservice teachers through an analysis of their ...

Fractional regression models for second stage DEA efficiency analyses [PDF]
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is commonly used to measure the relative efficiency of decision-making units. Often, in a second stage, a regression model is estimated to relate DEA efficiency scores to exogenous factors. In this paper, we argue that the

This study investigates the mycobacterial membrane protein MmpL3, a key target for new antituberculosis drugs, by combining high‐resolution crystallography and computational simulations. It reveals how the inhibitor UPAR‐1109 binds to MmpL3, providing detailed insights into the function and flexibility of the protein and supporting the rational design ...

What are the carbon services from cover‐crop adoption worth from farmers' perspective?
Abstract We derive shadow prices of carbon services provided by cover crops relative to non‐cover‐crop agricultural practices, accounting for carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We model the agricultural technology by integrating crop production, carbon sequestration, and GHG emissions.

Optimal timing and rate of nitrogen fertilizer use: An integrated network technology approach
Abstract Both the rate and timing of crop fertilizer application play an important role in agricultural productivity. However, inefficient fertilizer use can significantly increase production costs, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. To capture both the spatial heterogeneity and dynamic nature of this problem, we develop a multi‐stage ...

MEASURING THE PERFORMANCE OF TWO-STAGE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS WITH SHARED INPUTS BY DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS [PDF]
As a non-parametric technique in Operations Research and Economics, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) evaluates the relative efficiency of peer production systems or decision making units (DMUs) that have multiple inputs and outputs.

Abstract In a sector that needs to work as efficient as possible, artificial intelligence (AI) can guide the efficiency improvements of higher education institutions (HEIs). This paper explores both the AI literature and the efficiency literature as applied to HEIs following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review guidelines. The goal is to
