Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, den Zusammenhang zwischen der technischen Effizienz des Produktionsprozesses und dem wirtschaftlichen Erfolg landwirtschaftlicher Betriebe aufzudecken und betriebsspezifische Faktoren zu bestimmen, die diese beiden Größen beeinflussen. Wir analysieren hierfür...

The objective of the paper is to investigate whether Swiss farms specialised in dairy (the prevailing production of the country), which are small in international standards, would have a survival potential if they had to compete more directly with EU farms. More specifically, we investigate...

This article integrates fuzzy set theory in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) framework to compute technical efficiency scores when input and output data are imprecise. The underlying assumption in convectional DEA is that inputs and outputs data are measured with precision. However, production...

The present study was conducted to measure the production efficiency of tomatoes in Ismailia, Egypt, adopting Data Envelopment analysis (DEA) procedures. Fifty eight of tomato farms had been surveyed in Ismailia governorate for the season July to October 2013. DEA was adopted to estimate...

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...
