Climate Change Mitigation in the Dairy Sector: Uncovering Heterogeneity Through Eco‐Efficiency Clubs
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Combining climate change goals with economic targets is crucial for the dairy sector, which is a significant contributor to agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. In this paper, we assess economic and climate change implications of dairy production with panel data of Irish dairy farms from 2013 to 2021.

How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT EU member states have exhibited varying rates of apple production growth. Technical efficiency (TE) estimation is suitable for identifying best‐practice farm performance. This study examined whether the development of the apple sector in Germany, Italy, and Poland was influenced by production efficiency, access to technology, as well as ...

Inference in the nonparametric stochastic frontier model
Econometric ReviewsThis article is the first in the literature to discuss in detail how to conduct various types of inference in the stochastic frontier model when it is estimated using nonparametric methods. We discuss a general and versatile inferential technique that allows for a range of practical hypotheses of interest to be tested.
