Author: Coelli T.J.
Journal: Australian Journal of Agricultural Economics
Published: 1995
Abstract: In this paper recent developments in the estimation of frontier functions and the measurement of efficiency are surveyed, and the potential applicability of these methods in agricultural economics is discussed. Frontier production, cost and profit functions are discussed, along with the construction of technical, allocative, scale and overall efficiency measures relative to these estimated frontiers. The two primary methods of frontier estimation, econometric and linear programming, are compared. A survey of recent applications of frontier methods in agriculture is also provided.
Productive efficiency of the swine industry in Hawaii: stochastic frontier vs. data envelopment analysis
Authors: Sharma K.R., Leung P.S., Zaleski H.M.
Journal: Journal of Productivity Analysis
Published: 1997
Abstract: Improving productive efficiency is an increasingly important determinant of the future of the swine industry in Hawaii. This paper examines the productive efficiency of a sample of swine producers in Hawaii by estimating a stochastic frontier production function and the constant returns to scale (CRS) and variable returns to scale (VRS) output-oriented DEA models. The technical efficiency estimates obtained from the two frontier techniques are compared. The scale properties are also examined under the two approaches. The industry’s potential for increasing production through improved efficiency is also discussed.
Technical, allocative and economic efficiencies in swine production in Hawaii: a comparison of parametric and nonparametric approaches
Authors: Sharma K.R., Leung P.S., Zaleski H.M.
Journal: Agricultural Economics
Published: 1999
Abstract: Technical, allocative and economic efficiency measures are derived for a sample of swine producers in Hawaii using the parametric stochastic efficiency decomposition technique and nonparametric data envelopment analysis (DEA). Efficiency measures obtained from the two frontier approaches are compared. Firm-specific factors affecting productive efficiencies are also analyzed. Finally, swine producers' potential for reducing cost through improved efficiency is also examined. Under the specification of variable returns to scale (VRS), the mean technical, allocative and economic efficiency indices are 75.9%, 75.8% and 57.1%, respectively, for the parametric approach and 75.9%, 80.3% and 60.3% for DEA; while for the constant returns to scale (CRS) they are 74.5%, 73.9% and 54.7%, respectively, for the parametric approach and 64.3%, 71.4% and 45.7% for DEA. Thus the results from both approaches reveal considerable inefficiencies in swine production in Hawaii. The removal of potential outliers increases the technical efficiencies in the parametric approach and allocative efficiencies in DEA, but, overall, contrary to popular belief, the results obtained from DEA are found to be more robust than those from the parametric approach. The estimated mean technical and economic efficiencies obtained from the parametric technique are higher than those from DEA for CRS models but quite similar for VRS models, while allocative efficiencies are generally higher in DEA. However, the efficiency rankings of the sample producers based on the two approaches are highly correlated, with the highest correlation being achieved for the technical efficiency rankings under CRS. Based on mean comparison and rank correlation analyses, the return to scale assumption is found to be crucial in assessing the similarities or differences in efficiency measures obtained from the two approaches. Analysis of the role of various firm-specific factors on productive efficiency shows that farm size has strong positive effects on efficiency levels. Similarly, farms producing market hogs are more efficient than those producing feeder pigs. Based on these results, by operating at the efficient frontier the sample swine producers would be able to reduce their production costs by 38-46% depending upon the method and returns to scale considered.
Profit maximization, returns to scale, and measurement error
Authors: Lim H.G., Shumway C.R.
Journal: Review of Economics and Statistics
Published: 1992
Abstract: A non-parametric analysis of agricultural production behaviour was conducted for each of contiguous 48 states for the period 1956-1982 under the joint hypothesis of profit maximization, convex technology, and non-regressive technical change. Tests were conducted in each state for profit maximization and for constant returns to scale. Although considerable variability was observed among states, measurement errors of magnitudes common in secondary data yielded test results fully consistent with the profit-maximization hypothesis in all states with complete output and input data.
Non-parametric tests of cost minimizing behavior—a study of Indian farms
Authors: Ray S.C., Bhadra D.
Journal: American Journal of Agricultural Economics
Published: 1993
Abstract: We extend existing nonparametric methods of analyzing production efficiency to allow some inputs to be quasi-fixed. Varian's Weak Axiom of Cost Minimization is modified to derive the Weak Axiom of Variable Cost Minimization. The methodology is applied to farm level data from West Bengal, India, which are analyzed for consistency with cost minimizing behavior. There is strong evidence against overall cost minimization, a result that cannot be rationalized in terms of production uncertainty and risk aversion. However, violation of either technical efficiency or of variable cost minimization is much less serious. This suggests that failure of cost minimization is principally due to imperfections in the markets for capital and land.
Do New York dairy farmers maximize profits or minimize costs
Author: Tauer L.W.
Journal: American Journal of Agricultural Economics
Published: 1995
Abstract:
The Weak Axiom of Profit Maximization and Weak Axiom of Cost Minimization were used to determine whether each of forty-nine New York dairy farms displayed behavior consistent with profit maximization or cost minimization. These were tested for each farm across eleven years of data, correcting for technological change using previously estimated nonparametric Malmquist productivity indices. The results indicate that some were moderately successful in maximizing profits, but more carne closer to minimizing costs. Over hall of the observations were within 10% of minimum costs.
Success in maximizing profits and reasons for profit deviation on dairy farms
Authors: Tauer L, Stefanides Z.
Journal: Applied Economics
Published: 1998
Abstract:
The Weak Axiom of Profit Maximization (WAPM) was used to test how successful each of 70 individual New York State dairy farms was in maximizing profits using nine years of data. The netput vectors were corrected for technological change using nonparametric indices that do not require the assumption of profit maximization nor any functional form for the underlying technology. These technology indices are consistent with the nonparametric assumptions used in the WAPM tests. The average negative WAPM deviation over the 70 farms was .20, indicating that on average these farms could have selected available netput vectors that would have increased profits by 20 percent of total receipts. A tobit regression showed that the available characteristics on these farms explained very little of the variability in their abilities to select the best netput vectors. Yet, increased age and additional education increased the ability to select the best netput vector.
An application of data envelopment analysis to irrigated dairy farms in Northern Victoria, Australia
Authors: Fraser I., Cordina D.
Journal: Agricultural Systems
Published: 1999
Abstract:
In this paper, data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to assess the technical efficiency of a sample of irrigated dairy farms in Northern Victoria, Australia. It is proposed that DEA is a useful tool in helping to benchmark the dairy industry, which is continually striving to improve its productive efficiency. DEA takes a systems approach in that it takes account of the relationship between all inputs and outputs simultaneously. DEA yields a more consistent measure of efficiency than the more frequently reported partial indicators of farm efficiency. In addition, DEA yields a relative measure of efficiency and it identifies those inputs and/or outputs that are being under-utilised. From an extension perspective this is extremely useful information as it can assist in identifying industry best-practice.
Assessing the technical efficiency of horticultural production in Navarra, Spain
Authors: Iraizoz B., Rapun M., Zabaleta I.
Journal: Agricultural Systems
Published: 2003
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to estimate technical efficiency in the horticultural production sector in Navarra (Spain). Tomato and asparagus production are analysed separately. Both a non-parametric and a parametric approach to a frontier production function are used and the differences in the results are discussed. In a second stage we examine the degree to which the calculated efficiency correlates with a set of explanatory variables representing different features of farms such as size, factorial returns and economic performance. The results indicated that both tomato and asparagus production are relatively inefficient, with potential in both cases for reducing input or increasing output. These results hold regardless of whether the frontier was parametric or non-parametric. The estimated measures of technical efficiency were positively related with the partial productivity indices and negatively related with the cultivation costs per hectare. No conclusive results were obtained for the relation between size and efficiency.
Measuring the economic inefficiency of Nepalese rice farms using data envelopment analysis
Authors: Dhungana B.R., Nuthall P.L., Nartea G.V.
Journal: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics
Published: 2004
Abstract: A data envelopment analysis of a sample of 76 Nepalese rice farmers reveals average relative economic, allocative, technical, pure technical and scale inefficiencies as 34, 13, 24, 18 and 7 percent, respectively. The significant variations in the level of inefficiency across sample farms are attributed to the variations in the ‘use intensities’ of resources such as seed, labour, fertilisers and mechanical power. In addition, a second stage Tobit regression shows the variation is also related to farm-specific attributes such as the farmers’ level of risk attitude, the farm manager’s gender, age, education and family labour endowment. Based on the empirical findings, policy implications and development strategies for improving efficiency of Nepalese rice farms are briefly discussed.
Strategy factors as drivers and restraints on dairy farm performance: evidence from Sweden
Author: Hansson H.
Journal: Agricultural Systems
Published: 2007
Abstract: This paper explored how factors that are potential driving and restraining forces on farm strategy affect farm performance, in terms of economic, technical and allocative input and output efficiency. By assuming some inputs as given in the short run (capital and farmer labor) both long and short run input efficiency scores were calculated. A model of how strategy driving and restraining forces affect farm performance was developed. Three levels of potential driving and restraining forces were identified: external-operational environment, internal environment and micro-social environment. The model was detailed with specific factors, and those of especially the last two types of environments were used as explanatory variables in Tobit regressions, where the dependent variables were data envelopment analysis efficiency scores. We found that several of the strategy factors were important for farm performance. For example, several geographic locations (external-internal environment) were driving forces for economic and technical efficiency. Differences in soil and climate may be reasons, as well as potential differences in business culture. When the internal environment was considered, size of fields, distance to fields, bunker silo and tower silo were found to be driving forces for farm performance, whereas quality of forage machinery and a high focus on dairy production were found to be restraining forces. In the micro-social environment, discussing dairy production with someone was a driving force whereas co-farmers were restraints.
A measure for the efficiency of water use and its determinants, a case study of small-scale irrigation schemes in North-West Province, South Africa
Authors: Speelman S., D’Haese M., Buysse J., D’Haese L.
Journal: Agricultural Systems
Published: 2008
Abstract: This paper analyses the efficiency with which water is used in small-scale irrigation schemes in North West Province in South Africa and studies its determinants. In the study area, small-scale irrigation schemes play an important role in rural development, but the increasing pressure on water resources and the approaching introduction of water charges raise the concern for more efficient water use. With the data envelopment analysis (DEA) techniques used to compute farm-level technical efficiency measures and sub-vector efficiencies for water use, it was shown that under constant returns to scale (CRS) and variable returns to scale (VRS) specification, substantial technical inefficiencies, of 49% and 16%, respectively, exist among farmers. The sub-vector efficiencies for water proved to be even lower, indicating that if farmers became more efficient using the technology currently available, it would be possible to reallocate a fraction of the irrigation water to other water demands without threatening the role of small-scale irrigation. In a second step, Tobit regression techniques were used to examine the relationship between sub-vector efficiency for water and various farm or farmer characteristics. Farm size, landownership, fragmentation, the type of irrigation scheme, crop choice and the irrigation methods applied showed a significant impact on the sub-vector efficiency for water. Such information is valuable for extension services and policy makers since it can help to guide policies towards increased efficiency.

Journal: Environmental Science and Pollution Research
Published: 2018
Abstract: Energy is one of the essential resources for human life and mainly classified as non-renewable resources. Since huge amounts of energy are consumed in the agriculture sector, an energy audit is an essential strategy in countries. Conservation agriculture as a tool for sustainable development can lead to saving agricultural resources. In the current investigation, energy audit for wheat conservation and conventional production systems was performed. For this purpose, 48 farms were selected randomly in 2016, and their energy performance was evaluated and compared. The data were analyzed to calculate energy parameters. Also, data envelopment analysis technique was used to identify the possible ways to achieve higher efficiency in farms. To this end, current and optimum situations and saving energy in different cultivation systems were determined using Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes (CCR) model. The research results showed that the average energy ratio, net energy gain, specific energy, and energy productivity for conservation farms were 4.31, 137,656 MJ ha−1, 5.56 MJ kg−1, and 0.18 kg MJ−1, respectively. Corresponded values for conventional farms were measured to be 3.03, 90,101 MJ ha−1, 7.69 MJ kg−1, and 0.13 kg MJ−1, respectively. Data envelopment analysis results revealed that the highest saving energy in conventional system belongs to diesel fuel and irrigation inputs, and the least amount of energy saving was seen in human labor input. While for the conservation system, the highest and the least amount of energy saving belongs to nitrogen and human labor, respectively.
Fertilizer using intensity and environmental efficiency for China’s agriculture sector from 1997 to 2014
Authors: Xingle Long, Yusen Luo, Huaping Sun, Gang Tian
Journal: Natural Hazards
Published: 2018
Abstract: Agriculture produced the largest methane emissions in China. It is of great importance to investigate effect of fertilizer using intensity on the environmental efficiency of China’s agriculture. This paper mainly investigates the determinants of environmental efficiency of China’s agriculture. First, we estimate environmental efficiency of China’s agriculture of 30 provinces from 1997 to 2014 through metafrontier SBM super efficiency with undesirable outputs, which allow for technology heterogeneity in different regions. Then, we compare environmental efficiency in different regions. Furthermore, we also analyze whether heterogeneity of environmental technology widened or decreased. Last, we also explore the determinants of environmental efficiency of China’s agriculture through bootstrap truncation regression. We find that fertilizer intensity negatively affects environmental efficiency. Urbanization has significant positive (1.454) effect on environmental efficiency under metafrontier in the east. It is significant use more organic fertilizer to decrease CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions. It is important to enhance environmental innovation for China’s agriculture.
Policy efficiency in the field of food sustainability. The adjusted food agriculture and nutrition index
Authors: Massimiliano Agovino, Massimiliano Cerciello, Andrea Gatto
Journal: Journal of Environmental Management
Published: 2018
Abstract: This work introduces a revised version of the Food Sustainability Index, proposed by the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Barilla Center for Food and Nutrition in 2016. Our Adjusted Food Sustainability Index features two important advantages: 1) it employs the Mazziotta-Pareto method to compute weights, hence granting an objective aggregation criterion and 2) it does not take policy variables into account, thus focusing on the status quo. The policy variables are aggregated into the Policy Index, measuring the quality of the food sustainability policies. We compute the two indices for 25 countries worldwide, then we use the Data Envelopment Analysis to evaluate policy efficiency. Our results show that country-level variation in policy efficiency is wide and policies affect food sustainability significantly, especially when they target nutritional challenges.
