Technical Efficiency in Portuguese Dairy Farms [PDF]
This paper addresses issues related to efficiency measurement from an empirical point of view. A stochastic frontier production model using a translog is estimated for a group of Portuguese dairy farms. Farm level survey data for the period 1988 -2005 is

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The aim of this research is to verify whether institutional quality affects the relationship between green innovation and firm efficiency within the high‐tech manufacturing sectors. To estimate jointly the parameters of a stochastic frontier and the coefficients of a model explaining technical inefficiency, we employed the one‐step estimation ...

Access to Microfinance: Does it Matter for Profit Efficiency Among Small Scale Rice Farmers in Bangladesh? [PDF]
This paper measures profit efficiency and examines the effect of access to microfinance on the performance of rice firms in Bangladesh. An extended Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier profit function was used to assess profit efficiency and profit loss of ...

Productivity and Emissions in Italian Agriculture: A Farm‐Level Efficiency Analysis
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Achieving the European Union climate‐neutrality objectives requires metrics that jointly assess farm productivity and greenhouse gas emissions at a granular level. However, harmonized evidence for benchmarking the productivity–emissions nexus of Italian farms remains limited.
