Investigating technical and scale efficiency of dairy farms in south-western Victoria: a non-parametric approach
The aim of this article is to investigate issues related to technical efficiency and scale of dairy farms in south-western Victoria, Australia. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is the technique used and is applied to a sample of 59 farms in the 1999-2000 lactating season. The key result is that 51 per cent of the farms are operating at optimal scale, 34 per cent are below and 15 per cent are abo...
متن کاملTechnical Efficiency of Maize Production in Nigeria: Parametric and Non- Parametric Approach
The study was carried out to provide empirical evidence on technical efficiency of maize production in Nigeria using parametric and non-parametric approaches. The study employed annual secondary data on maize production in Nigeria from 1971 to 2010.Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) were used to estimate the technical efficiency of maize production. The resul...
متن کاملParametric Approach for Estimation of Technical Efficiency
In this paper an attempt is made to explain the basic concept of efficiency, frontier production function, technical efficiency, deterministic frontier, and stochastic frontier. Efficiency of a firm/industry refers to its performance in the utilization of resources at its disposal and is a relative concept. Technical efficiency of a production function is defined as the maximum quantity of outp...
متن کاملA comparison of parametric and non-parametric methods of standardized precipitation index (SPI) in drought monitoring (Case study: Gorganroud basin)
The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is the most common index for drought monitoring. Although the calculation of this index is usually done by using the gamma distribution fitting of precipitation data, studies have shown that for accurate monitoring of drought, the optimal distribution of precipitation in each month should be determined. On the other hand, in non-stationary time series,...
