Low efficiency has been the bottleneck that is hindering agricultural products logistics to play the role in improving economic and social development. But relevant research achievements are not many. This paper studies agricultural products logistics efficiency from 2008 to 2011 in China based on DEA and Malmquist index and finds that during later period of study, the total factor productivity...

This paper specifies an empirical framework for estimating both technical and allocative efficiency, which is applied to a large panel of European banks over the years 1996 2003. Our methodology allows self-consistent measurement inefficiency, in effort address issue known literature as Greene problem. The results suggest that, on average, exhibit constant returns scale, that efficiency are clo...

We explore the relationship between precision agriculture (PA) technology adoption and technical efficiency using 2016 USDA Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS). Efficiency gains from PA are likely cumulative, that is, true impact of farming depends on integration complementary tools. To examine benefits different bundles, we perform a two-step analysis. First, use cluster analysis to...
