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 ...

A Note on Allen-Uzawa Partial Elasticities of Substitution: The Case of the Translog Cost Function [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007 This note provides a useful property of the Allen–Uzawa partials for the translog cost function. It also suggests how the main results extend to any functional form with certain properties. The curvature of the Allen–Uzawa matrix is the same as the curvature of the Hessian matrix.

Does size matter? : Economies of scale in the German mutual fund industry [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper, we analyze economies of scale for German mutual fund complexes. Using 2002-2005 data of 41 investment management companies, we specify a hedonic translog cost function. Applying a fixed effects regression on a one-way error component model

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 ...

The Impact of Sectoral Aggregation on Elasticities of Substitution Using Translog Cost Function
, 2021 Abstract Economic models are widely used to simulate policy scenarios, in which elasticities are used as measures of substitutability between production inputs. These models need appropriate levels of sector aggregation to produce policy-relevant results and to capture the variations of input substitutability among different sectors, while ...

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 ...
