Comparing Parametric and Nonparametric Regression Methods for Panel Data: the Optimal Size of Polish Crop Farms

Czekaj, Tomasz Gerard; Henningsen, Arne - Institut for Fødevare- og Ressourceøkonomi, … - 2012

We investigate and compare the suitability of parametric and non-parametric stochastic regression methods for analysing production technologies and the optimal firm size. Our theoretical analysis shows that the most commonly used functional forms in empirical production analysis, Cobb-Douglas...

Panel Data Nonparametric Estimation of Production Risk and Risk Preferences: An Application to Polish Dairy Farms

Czekaj, Tomasz Gerard; Henningsen, Arne - Institut for Fødevare- og Ressourceøkonomi, … - 2013

We apply nonparametric panel data kernel regression to investigate production risk, out-put price uncertainty, and risk attitudes of Polish dairy farms based on a firm-level unbalanced panel data set that covers the period 2004–2010. We compare different model specifications and different...

Measuring the Technical Efficiency of Farms Producing Environmental Output: Parametric and Semiparametric Estimation of Multi-output Stochastic Ray Production Frontiers

Czekaj, Tomasz Gerard - Institut for Fødevare- og Ressourceøkonomi, … - 2013

This paper investigates the technical efficiency of Polish dairy farms producing environmental output using the … using parametric and semiparametric stochastic frontier models. The main focus is on the estimation of technical efficiency … Translog output distance function is used. The detailed results of the technical efficiency analysis show that, although the …

Panel Data Specifications in Nonparametric Kernel Regression: An Application to Production Functions

Czekaj, Tomasz; Henningsen, Arne - Institut for Fødevare- og Ressourceøkonomi, … - 2013

We discuss nonparametric regression models for panel data. A fully nonparametric panel data specification that uses the time variable and the individual identifier as additional (categorical) explanatory variables is considered to be the most suitable. We use this estimator and conventional...

Institutions, policy reforms and efficiency in new member states from Centraland Eastern Europe

Bojnec, Štefan; Fertő, Imre; Jámbor, Attila; Tóth, … - Leibniz-Institut für Agrarentwicklung in … - 2010

This paper investigates determinants of agricultural sector efficiency in ten new member states (NMS-10) of the …) and the panel data analysis. The agricultural sector efficiency varies between the NMS-10. We have found positive and … significant association of the agricultural sector efficiency with the natural agricultural factor endowments, average farm size …

Oriented stochastic data envelopment models: Ranking comparison to stochastic frontier approach

Brazdik, Frantisek - Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education and … - 2005

Results of data envelopment analysis sensitively respond to stochastic noise in the data. In this paper, by introduction of output augmentation and input reduction I extend additive models for stochastic data envelopment analysis (SDEA), which were developed by Li (1998) to handle the noise in...

Learning and the Adoption of High Yielding Variety Seeds : Panel Data Versus Cross-Sectional Data

Cameron, L - Department of Economics, Faculty of Business and Economics - 1997

To date, due to the lack of panel data, most micro-level empirical studies of technology adoption have used cross-sectional data. These studies cannot examine the dynamic processes of adoption such as learning. This paper uses panel data to study the adoption of a new high-yielding variety seed....
