TARGETING ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN AGRICULTURE: IPM AND BMPS AS ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Weaver, Robert D.; Kim, Taeho - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 1999
Nonparametric technical efficiency estimates of potentially polluting input use in soybean and wheat indicate substantial heterogeneity across farms. This implies large costs would be associated with uniform standards or incentives to regulate these inputs. While technical efficiency is not...

Measuring Technical Efficiency of Dairy Farms with Imprecise Data: A Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis Approach
Mugera, Amin W. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011
This article integrates fuzzy set theory in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) framework to compute technical efficiency … scores when input and output data are imprecise. The underlying assumption in convectional DEA is that inputs and outputs …. Compared to the convectional DEA scores that are point estimates, the computed fuzzy efficiency scores allow the decision maker …

Economic Efficiency of Ethanol Plants in the US North Central Region
Sesmero, Juan P.; Perrin, Richard K.; Fulginiti, Lilyan E. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2010
In this study we use data envelopment analysis to decompose the overall economic efficiency of a sample of ethanol plants into three subcomponents: technical efficiency, allocative efficiency and a new component we call marketing efficiency. The relative importance of these sources of efficiency...
