Assessing technical efficiency in traditional olive grove systems: a directional metadistance function approach
Beltrán-Esteve, Mercedes - In: Economia Agraria y Recursos Naturales 13 (2013) 2
Olive growing is the main agricultural activity in Andalusia, although the systems used are far from homogenous. Indeed, technological and natural characteristics have led to the implementation of several growing systems. Our goal is to analyze the efficiency of the two most important systems in...
