Production Gaps Among Farmers With Disabilities Are Associated With Limited Technology
ABSTRACT In sub‐Saharan Africa, agriculture is vital; however, the systematic exclusion of persons with disabilities from farming hinders sustainable development and social equity. Although several studies have analyzed productivity differentials across various dimensions of social exclusion, empirical evidence on technology access, farming efficiency,

Identification and Stochastic Analysis of Factors Influencing Technical Inefficiency of Nigerian Smallholder Soybean Farmers [PDF]
Smallholder soybean production is investigated using an econometric analysis otherwise known as stochastic frontier analysis through transcendental logarithmic (translog) production function, which incorporates an inefficiency effects model.

Rejecting capital-skill complementarity at all costs [PDF]
Any serious empirical study of factor substitutability has to allow the data to display complementarity as well as substitutability. The standard approach reflecting this idea is a translog specification – this is also the approach used by numerous ...

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the link between export and total factor productivity using a large panel of Ethiopian large and medium manufacturing firms. Using a modified Olley and Pakes model with export for the prediction of total factor productivity and then matching and difference‐in‐difference techniques, evidence of both self‐selection and ...

Investigation of Japanese electricity industry using a CGE model of translog function
CGE models are usually used for policy analysis. The conventional CGE models use CES function because of being a convenience for modeling. Moreover, some of the CGE models use a multi-CES function to model the multi-layered production process.

An Empirical Analysis of Mark-ups in the Argentine Manufacturing Sector [PDF]
In this paper, we estimate mark-ups with plant level production data for Argentina from a structural model of cost-minimizing producers, as proposed by De Loecker and Warzynski (2012). We explore systematic differences across industries and plants.

ABSTRACT Water hyacinth (hereafter, WH) is known as ‘the green devil' and becomes a threat to the fishing community whose livelihood solely relies on fishing activities. Although there are immense assessment studies related to WH, the real causal impact of this invasive weed on the fishing community has not yet been properly quantified. In filling this

REGIONAL FACTOR DEMAND IN U.S. WHEAT PRODUCTION [PDF]
This study applies a translog cost function to analyze factor demands in four U.S. wheat production regions. The results show that factor demands are inelastic across all regions.
