This paper examined the relationship between cost efficiency and feed grain production in Kansas. Using data from 2002 … to 2011, corn production was significantly and positively related to cost efficiency in eastern and western Kansas, while … grain sorghum production was significant and positively related to cost efficiency in central Kansas. …

The existing literature on dynamic efficiency is deterministic and ignores uncertainty when deriving dynamic efficiency …-fixed factors. Here, we contribute to closing this gap by developing a model that takes the dynamic efficiency measurement and the … empirical evidence for the importance of considering uncertainty when deriving (dynamic) efficiency measures: neglecting …

objective of the research is to compare dairy farms in Germany, The Netherlands and Hungary about their technical efficiency. In … the first part of the research, the efficiency is measured by partial efficiency indexes using one dimensional efficiency … measuring. In the second part, the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) have to be used to measure efficiency in a …
