different risk preferences and measure efficiency with a structural model based on utility maximization. Using the almost ideal … demand system, we estimate input and profit demand functions to obtain proxies for expected return and risk. Efficiency is … then measured in this risk-return space. Mean risk-return efficiency is somewhat higher than cost and considerably higher …
