This paper addresses the issues of technical efficiency, total factor productivity and its convergence for cereal crop … production in Indian agriculture using district level data over twenty-five years from thirteen major states. We estimate a … stochastic frontier model to analyze technical efficiency after controlling for the district specific and climatic impact in the …

We investigate in this paper differences in productive efficiency across sixteen European countries. In order to assess … differences in productive efficiency, we have built a dynamic input-output model and computed for each country the balanced growth …

The paper examines efficiency, productivity and scale economies in the U.S. property-liability insurance industry …. Productivity change is analyzed using Malmquist indices, and efficiency is estimated using data envelopment analysis (DEA).
