Argentina during 1971-2002. The TFP change index is further decomposed into efficiency change and technical change. We then … efficiency and technical change accelerated in Brazilian agriculture, where as Argentinean agriculture experienced a negative … trend in TFP growth over the sample period. Efficiency change in Argentina’s agriculture was found to be stagnant over time …

Cost efficiency measures of a sample of catfish farms in Chicot County, Arkansas are estimated using a data envelopment … analysis technique. A measure of overall efficiency is used to determine operator's characteristics, farm practices, and … institutional support services that are likely to lead to higher farm level cost efficiency. Results indicate that live catfish …
