Linear programming solutions and distance functions under a constant returns to scale technology

Boussemart, Jean-Philippe; Briec, Walter; Leleu, Hervé - IÉSEG School of Management, Université Catholique de Lille - 2008

This note generalizes analytical relationships among activity variables of DEA models previously derived by Boussemart, Briec and Leleu (2007). We relax the asumption of constant returns to scale by showing that the key results hold under a weaker asumption of homogeneity. We use the notion of...

Duality of Shephard’s weakly disposable technology under a directional output distance function

Leleu, Hervé - IÉSEG School of Management, Université Catholique de Lille - 2013

In a recent paper Kuosmanen and Matin (2011) have developed a dual formulation of the weakly disposable Kuosmanen’s technology (Kuosmanen, 2005). Their work sheds new light on the economic interpretation of weak disposability and allows estimation of shadow prices for undesirable/bad outputs....

Combining farm simulation with frontier efficiency analysis

Berre, David; Vayssières, Jonathan; Boussemart, … - IÉSEG School of Management, Université Catholique de Lille - 2012

efficiency analysis taking into account multiple input parameters. We suggest combining GAMEDE with “Data Envelopment Analysis …” (DEA) to assess the efficiency of a large variety of simulated farms (frontier efficiency analysis). Each farm is …, potential efficiency progress is calculated as the distance between these farms and the frontier. The main advantage of our …

Generation and Distribution of Total Factor Productivity Gains in US Industries

Boussemart, Jean-Philippe; Leleu, Hervé; Mensah, Edward - IÉSEG School of Management, Université Catholique de Lille - 2014

This study estimates productivity gains and their distribution among inputs and outputs for American industries over the period 1987-2011 using the traditional surplus accounting method. Total Factor Productivity (TFP) change is traditionally defined as the growth rate of output minus the growth...

A Note on Parameterizing Input Distance Functions: Does the Choice of a Functional Form Matter?

Färe, Rolf; Vardanyan, Michael - IÉSEG School of Management, Université Catholique de Lille - 2014

We use a Monte Carlo experiment to compare the quadratic and translog functional forms in terms of their ability to approximate known frontiers that possess convex curvature. Unlike some of the existing simulation studies that have studied this topic, we find that both functional forms provide a...

Generation and distribution of productivity gains in French agriculture. Who are the winners and the losers over the last fifty years?

Boussemart, Jean-Philippe; Butault, Jean-Pierre; Ojo, … - IÉSEG School of Management, Université Catholique de Lille - 2012

This paper offers an approach based on the economic theory of index numbers that revisits the classical surplus accounting technique. We measure the productivity gains and the combined effects of output and input price variation on French farmers’ income between 1959 and 2011, for the whole...

Short- and Long-Run Credit Constraints in French Agriculture: A Directional Distance Function Framework Using Expenditure-Constrained Profit Functions

Blancard, Stéphane; Boussemart, Jean-Philippe; Briec, … - IÉSEG School of Management, Université Catholique de Lille - 2005

This empirical application investigates the eventual presence of credit constraints using a panel of French farmers. This is the first European application using a direct modelling approach based upon axiomatic production theory. The credit constrained profit maximisation model proposed by...

The Luenberger Productivity Indicator: An Economic Specifcation Leading to Infeasibilities.

Briec, Walter; Kerstens, Kristiaan - IÉSEG School of Management, Université Catholique de Lille - 2008

This contribution points out a minor problem in the specifcation of technology when computing the Luenberger productivity indicator that has been hitherto ignored in the literature. The solution of this problem increases the likelihood that the directional distance functions underlying this...
