Cost Behavior of Organic Versus Conventional Farms: Assessing Economic Resilience and the Ecological Dividend

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study empirically examines the cost behavior in organic versus conventional farming to assess economic resilience. Using Spanish FADN data (2015–2021), results show organic farms exhibit higher cost elasticity during output increases and lower elasticity during decreases.

Modelling Heterogeneous Dependence in a Copula‐Linked By‐Production Frontier: Evidence From French Dairy Farms

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In agriculture, production technologies are often characterised by non‐linearities and stochastic dependence between outputs, particularly between desirable and undesirable outputs. This paper combines the copula‐based semi‐parametric framework for modelling heterogeneous dependence with the by‐production stochastic frontier approach and ...
