Fertilizer has brought great pressure to sustainable ecological environment. Research on the effect of price fertilizer use as well substitution relationship and other input factors agricultural production is importance for green, efficient, intensive in world. This study first constructs translog cost functions models elasticity, then uses factor data from 2004 2016 measure elasticity demand, ...

The objective of this paper is to apply the Translog Stochastic Frontier production model (SFA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate efficiencies over time and the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth rate for Bangladeshi rice crops (Aus, Aman and Boro) throughout the most recent data available comprising the period 1989-2008. Results indicate that technical efficiency was observed...

in this paper, besides of studying and reviewing the theoretical analysis of the trade liberalization and industrial growth, the effect of trade liberalization on productivity in the industrial sector of the iran`s economy are investigated. in this study, a translog cost function and sur model for the period of 1974-2006 are used in order to evaluate the trade liberalization variable. at first,...

The study estimated the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth in Sri Lankan food crop sector from 1990- 2017 using Tornqvist-Theil index assuming translog production technology and a competitive market. TFP of paddy, maize, potato, big onion, chilli soybean has increased after 2000. highest is recorded for maize 2011 -2015 that contributed to about 68% growth. costless advances applied technol...

This study aims to analyze the development of input and output prices, translog profit function, elasticity demand for lowland rice farming inputs in Jambi Province. The function model used is Transcendental Logarithmic (Translog) function. results show that · prices has increased significantly every year. production factors affect profitability are price seeds, TSP fertilizer, other chemical f...

This paper examines costs in the Swiss nursing home industry, an issue of concern to Swiss policy makers because of the explosion of elderly care costs and the aging of the population. The paper considers estimation of a translog cost function employing panel data for a sample of 36 nonprofit nursing homes operating in Ticino, a canton of Switzerland, over the period 1993-1995. Using a set of d...

This paper employs the manufacturing sampling survey data from the industry, commerce, and service census of Taiwan in 1991 to explore the issue of whether IT investment brings about the productivity paradox. In order to take the improvement of product quality caused by IT investment into account, a proper computer price index is used to deflate the IT variable. This paper applies the Translog ...

Abstract A spatially analyse of the production structure and input choices for heating, sawmill, pulp sectors in Sweden is conducted using a panel data set includes quarterly period 2011 to 2016 across 21 counties. Focus on price substitution elasticities, scale effects technical change measures. single-output regional translog cost models developed estimated. The specification chosen its flexi...
