Measuring Dynamic Efficiency under Uncertainty: An Application to German Dairy Farms

Wagner, Christina; Huettel, Silke; Odening, Martin; … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013

The existing literature on dynamic efficiency is deterministic and ignores uncertainty when deriving dynamic efficiency … measures, even though it is known that uncertainty affects the optimal adjustment path and the optimal use of quasi … optimal investment under uncertainty jointly into consideration. We apply this model to German farm-level panel data to …
