The study was conducted to indicate the determinants of technical efficiency of the dairy farmers in Ada’a district of Oromia state, Ethiopia. The study was arranged in four purposively selected peasant associations of the peri-urban and four kebeles of the urban dairy production sub-systems from which thirty dairy farmers were selected randomly. A total of two hundred forty respondents were pe...

in the present study, the energetic and economic modeling of lentil and chickpea production in esfahan province of iran was conducted using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) and linear regression. data were taken by interviewing and visiting of 140 lentil farms and 110 chickpea farms during 2014-2015 production period. the results showed that the yield and total energy consumption w...

In this paper we extend the study done by Ferrara and Guerrini [12], where two different research lines within the Ramsey model were joined together: the one studying the role of a logistic population growth rate (Accinelli and Brida [2]), and the one analyzing the effects of a Benthamite formulation for the utility function. The results obtained in [12] for the special case of a constant inter...

the aims of this study were to investigate the energy flow and its modeling in shablon cultivar of plum production in golestan province of iran. data were collected through questionnaires and also interviews with producers. cobb-douglass model and sensitivity analysis were used to determine the effects of energy inputs on plum yield. the results revealed that the total energy inputs and energy ...

Background: Optimal allocation of resources commensurate with performance improvement is the concerns of all countries including Iran. Estimation hospitals production function is important in the economic management of hospitals. Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the production function of Iranian selected public hospitals as well as analyz...

This paper follows Jones (2005) in his approach to deriving the global production function from microfoundations. His framework is generalized by allowing for dependence between the Pareto distributions of laborand capital-augmenting developments. Using the Clayton copula family to capture this dependence, we derive a “Clayton-Pareto” class of production functions that nests both the Cobb-Dougl...
