This study aims to assess the Cost Efficiency (CE) of the Greek cooperative banks over the period 2000–2005. We first use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate the technical, allocative and cost efficiency for each bank in sample. Then, we use a bootstrapping censored (Tobit)...

Technical efficiency and its determinants among organic and conventional farms in Sweden are analyzed for time-period 2000-2002. In addition, we address the issues that arise when comparing performance measures among the two groups of producers (conventional and organic) due differences in their...
