An analysis of agricultural production in Pakistan : a study based on the asymmetric role of inputs
Iqbal, Naveed; Sial, Maqbool H.; Saleem, Adeel - In: Pakistan journal of applied economics : PJAE 31 (2021) 2, pp. 191-208
Agricultural inputs are peculiar in nature as an asymmetry in their roles can be identified during the production process. These inputs can be grouped into a set of growth inputs or a set of facilitating inputs. The inputs affecting biological or physiological growth from the inside of the plant...

Measurement of Environmental Efficiency and Productivity : A Cross Country Analysis
Kumar, Surender; Khanna, Madhu - 2014
This paper measures environmental efficiency (EE) and environmental productivity (EP) and analyzes differences in these across countries. It explores the macro-economic factors that could explain these differences and whether these differences can be explained by income levels and by the degree...

Returns to Scale and Most Productive Scale Size in DEA with Negative Data
Sahoo, Biresh - 2016
Non-parametric evaluation of returns to scale of production units in standard DEA models becomes problematic when their … paper contributes to the DEA literature in two ways. First, it makes a unifying attempt to propose a general non-radial DEA … presence of negative data. Second, the proposed model can be adapted in a dynamic DEA technology setting to determine growth …

Measuring Productivity Growth and Capacity Utilization in Data Envelopment Analysis : An Application
Sahoo, Biresh - 2012
This article first reviews the well-known nonparametric methods of decomposing productivity growth and finally argue that Färe et al. (1994)’s method of computing productivity growth is superior in spite of the fact that this model model is based on convexity postulate, which assumes away...

Productivity interpretations of the Farrell efficiency measures and the Malmquist index and its decomposition
Førsund, Finn R. - 2015 - This version August 2015
The ratio definition of efficiency has the form of a productivity measure. But the weights are endogenous variables and they do not function as weights in a productivity index proper. It is shown that extended Farrell measures of efficiency can all be given an interpretation as productivity...

Neoclassical Characterization of Returns to Scale in Nonparametric Production Analysis
Sahoo, Biresh - 2015
From an empirical perspective, this paper critically examines the concepts of returns to scale (RTS) and economies of scale (EOS), and argues that the concept of EOS is more relevant and broader enough to exhibit proper scale economies behavior of firms. Two approaches, i.e., production function...
