متن کاملBias-Corrected Production Frontiers: Application to Productivity Growth and Convergence
Data envelopment analysis (DEA), originally developed to study production efficiency ofmicro-level organizations, has recently been used to adopt a production-frontier approach to the analysis of international macroeconomic growth and convergence patterns. DEA methods, however, are known to provide biased estimates of the production frontier and efficiency. We employ recent results from the sta...
متن کاملModelling multi-output stochastic frontiers using copulas
The aim of this work is to introduce a new econometric methodology for multioutput production frontiers. In the context of a system of frontier equations, we use a flexible multivariate distribution for the inefficiency error term. This multivariate distribution is constructed through a copula function which allows for separate modelling of the marginal inefficiency distributions and the depend...
متن کاملSuckling effects in sows: importance for mammary development and productivity.
An understanding of the mechanisms regulating milk yield in sows is crucial for producers to make the best management decisions during lactation. Suckling of mammary glands by piglets is one factor that is essential for development of these glands during lactation and for the maintenance of lactation in sows. The process of mammary development is not static as the majority of it takes place in ...
متن کاملPlacing and preserving priorities: projects, productivity, progress and people
High throughput screening (HTS) involves using automated equipment to test a large number of samples against a defined molecular target to identify a reasonable number of active molecules in a timely fashion. Major factors which can influence priorities for the limited resources of the HTS group are projects, productivity, progress and people. The challenge to the HTS group is to provide excell...
