Estimates of technical and scale inefficiencies of fresh fruits farms in Greece during the period 1991-1995 are obtained by using SFA and DEA. The empirical results confirm previous findings for the frequency distributions and the temporal pattern of technical efficiency. Namely, DEA tends to...

Estimates of technical and scale inefficiencies of tobacco farms in Greece during the period 1991-1995 are obtained by using the parametric approach. The degree of technical efficiency was found to be lower than the degree of scale efficiency and thus a greater portion of overall inefficiency is...

In this paper we apply the technical inefficiency effect model to a set of eight different crop products (i.e., wheat, mixed arable crops, tobacco, cotton, olive oil, fruits, vegetables, and greenhouse horticulture) in Greek agriculture. For each product, a panel data set covering the period...
