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...

Environmental efficiency measurement when producers control pollutants under heterogeneous conditions: a generalization of the materials balance approach

Eder, Andreas - Agricultural Land Markets - Efficiency and Regulation - 2020

This article provides a generalization of the materials balance-based production model introduced by Coelli et al. (2007). Based on this, some new environmental efficiency (EE) measures are presented. The Coelli et al. (2007) EE measure and its extension by Rødseth (2016) produce biased...

Competition and regulation as a means of reducing CO2 emissions : experience from U.S. fossil fuel power plants

Growitsch, Christian; Paulus, Simon; Wetzel, Heike - 2016

Levels of CO2 emissions from electricity generation in the U.S. have changed considerably in the last decade. This development can be attributed to two factors. First, the shale gas revolution has reduced gas prices significantly, leading to a crowding out of the more CO2-intensive coal for...

Firm and Industry Level Profit Efficiency Analysis Under Incomplete Price Data : A Nonparametric Approach Based on Absolute and Uniform Shadow Prices

Kuosmanen, Timo - 2007

We discuss the nonparametric approach to profit efficiency analysis at the firm and industry levels in the absence of complete price information, and propose two new insights. First, choosing one commodity (whose price is known) as a numeraire good enables us to measure profit inefficiency in...

Stochastic Nonparametric Envelopment of Data : Combining Virtues of Sfa and DEA in a Unified Framework

Kuosmanen, Timo - 2006

Analysis (SFA) and nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This paper attempts to combine the virtues of both approaches … nonparametric route of DEA that only imposes free disposability, convexity, and some specification of returns to scale. From the … the data. The resulting function will always take a piece-wise linear form analogous to the DEA frontiers. We discuss the …

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...

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...
