Measuring and explaining farm inefficiency in a panel data set of mixed farms [PDF]
This paper aims to estimate a translog stochastic frontier production function in the analysis of a panel of 150 mixed Catalan farms in the period 1989-1993, in order to attempt to measure and explain variation in technical inefficiency scores with a one-

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Aqueous ammonium‐ion batteries leverage hydrogen‐bond‐mediated NH4+ storage in tunable transition metal compounds. Despite progress in Mn‐, V‐, Mo‐, and W‐based compounds, 2D LDHs, and MXenes, challenges like structural instability and slow kinetics persist. Future advances require robust host design, mechanistic understanding via operando studies, and

Production and efficiency : the case of the Australian Rugby League : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Applied Economics at Massey University [PDF]
, 1999 What matters in the "production" of a game of rugby league? This analysis finds that several game-specific inputs (such as successful goal-kicking percentage, inherent team strength, and momentum of results) in the generation of a game outcome are ...

Foreign labor, peer‐networking and agricultural efficiency in the Italian dairy sector
Agribusiness, EarlyView.Abstract While the presence of immigrants in the agricultural sector is widely acknowledged, the empirical evidence on its economic consequences is lacking, especially from a microeconomic perspective. Using the Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data for Italian dairy farms in the period 2008–2018, the present study investigates the relationship ...

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.
