Agricultural production accounts for 64.2% of the Vietnam's Mekong Delta. However, this sector has to face damage risks, especially from the natural disasters, such as flood, drought, severe soil salinity, pests, and erosion, which might factor into the farmers' risk attitude and their...

I used bootstrapping data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure changes in technical and scale efficiency in rice production in the Mekong delta region, Vietnam. The data include sample production sets from 1998 and bi-annual updates from 2002 to 2010. Technical efficiency changed significantly...

The present study aims to measure the technical efficiency and establish core factors affecting rice production in Cambodia. A four-year dataset generated from the central government document 'Profile on Economics and Social' of 25 entire provinces between 2012 and 2015 and the stochastic...

Aim: In spite of investments in new technologies to improve upon rice production in Ghana, productivity levels are still low. It is therefore important to assess the efficiency of farmers and identify sources of inefficiency to develop policies to reduce inefficiencies. This paper aims to...

This study employs stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) correcting for sample selection bias, to determine technical efficiency (TE) and technology gap using cross-sectional data collected from 543 rice farmers in Northern Ghana. The results showed that corrected sample selection TE estimates were...

Associated with climate change are the rising frequency, probability, and intensity of natural hazards, as stated by IPCC (2014). To contribute to the evaluation of climate change consequences, we study the impact of river floods caused by torrential rain periods, which are supposed to become...

Starting with a landmark 2015 speech by Mark Carney on the "Tragedy of the Horizon", climate change entered central banking discourse, causing some of its key convictions to come under new scrutiny. This article traces how initially climate change was firmly embedded in a conventional framework...

The pitch template introduced by Faff (2015; 2021) has become increasingly popular in academic research. Therefore, this paper aims to offer readers new ideas about a more time-efficient and easy-to-understand way of exploring a new research area and topic through a reverse engineering approach. The...

Research Question - This paper aims to analyse the impact of reported greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on financial performance of companies operating in the chemical industry from Central-Eastern Europe over the period 2015-2019. Motivation - Currently, the climate change and global warming have...

This short paper applies the pitch template developed by Faff (2015b), for a proposed strategy research topic that investigates private power and electricity firm's adaptation to climate change within the context of a developing country. I begin by giving a brief background to writing the pitch....
