This study aims to measure the production capacity and capacity utilization in pharmaceutical industry. The capacity utilization is the ratio of actual production level to the potential production level which shows the gap between real production and production capacity. Method: Through econometric methods, the short-run translog cost function is estimated with the cost share function of produ...

The sensitivity of asset fixity conclusions, input adjustment rates, and elasticities to choice of functional form is examined using a dynamic dual model of U.S. agriculture. A very general initial specification allows tests of instantaneous adjustment to be performed for every input. Test results are mixed across functional forms for all inputs except real estate, which is consistently found t...

Abstract Milkfish, Chanos chanos, is often cultured with white shrimp, Penaeus indicus , to maintain ecological stability and increase profits. This study uses the outputs cost data of 169 milkfish farmers in Taiwan for years 2018 2019 applies translog function modeling analyze production scale economy input–input demand combinations two stocking densities (<10,000, ≥10,000 fry/ha) fry sizes...

The need to improve the productivity and quality of pineapple produced meet demand supply with international standards necessitates exploring production potentials. So, assessing technical efficiency producers is essential avoid waste resources above all target advices for improving producers. Studies conducted on in Benin have paid less attention resource requirements its determinants. This st...

This study analyzed sea salt production and compared the technical efficiency level technology gap between traditional High-Density Polyethylene Geomembranes (HDPE GMB) in Phetchaburi province using a copula-based meta-stochastic frontier technique. A total sample size of 250 was chosen, comprising 195 farmers 55 HDPE GMBs farmers. Several copula families were used to analyze dependence structu...

The objective of the present Position Paper is to identify the major theoretical and practical developments dealing with Airport Capacity and Efficiency optimisation and improvement. Furthermore, it is within the scope of this document to identify and present in detail the major institutional and organizational issues associated with Airport Capacity and Efficiency and specify the existing perc...

Using a newly constructed data set on outward FDI from Germany, comprising both parent and affiliate panels for the period 1989-2001, this paper studies the location choice of German parents and consequences for labor demand across locations. Results indicate that large, relative skill abundant countires attract German FDI. Firms in skill-intensive industries seek skilled labor in their foreign...
