The rice production of Bangladesh has been investigated using a Cobb-Douglas stochastic production function which incorporates a model for the technical inefficiency effects. Farm level primary data collected by stratified random sampling technique are used for this study. The factors identified...

A Translog stochastic cost frontier has been estimated simultaneously with the economic inefficiency effect model using maximum likelihood for different rice crops. To estimate farm-specific economic efficiencies, single estimation of Translog cost frontier has also been done. Different cost...
