abstract quantitative analysis of production through evaluating the level of factor usage is a major part in agricultural management, which aims at increasing production by optimum usage of resources. this study has estimated and analyzed stochastic frontier production function and calculated technical efficiency of semi-mechanized broiler farms located in gorgan district. the survey data were ...

the paper attempts to study the efficiency of crop production and resource use effi-ciency on temple tenants and owner farms in tirunelveli district of tamil nadu. a sam-ple of 90 temple tenants and 50 owner farmers from two taluks of tirunelveli district, nawely, shencottah and tenkasi were selected for the study. the reference period of the study was 2002-2003. the efficiency analysis with th...

walnut is one of the important products in kerman province and baft town is the main area of ‎walnut orchards. so the technical, allocative and economical efficiency of walnut farmers computed ‎assign the degree of farmer’s success in the optimum allocation of their resources. at first the ‎proper production function was estimated, and then stochastic frontier production and technical, ‎efficie...

the aim of this paper is to use the concept of the metafrontier function to study the determination of efficiency differentials and technological gap ratio (tgr) on wheat production in khorasan razavi province. in this study, we used the metafrontier function and group frontier based on the concept of stochastic nonparametric envelopment of data analysis (stoned). the data used in this study co...

abstractgiven the importance of the notion of efficiency in the country's economic growth, measuring the efficiency and the technology gap for various industries in order to achieve the best possible resource assignment, following the declared policy goals, is of particular importance for those countries, such as iran, which are now at the early stages of the industrialization process. hen...

This paper presents an analysis of technical efficiency and technology gap ratio (TGR) in greenhouse cucumber in Fars Province, Iran. Cucumber production was chosen for this study for the reason that greenhouse productions in this provincemainly have focused on this product. The data used in this study was obtained from a random sample of 127 greenhouses in Fars Province for 2010 to 2011. Metaf...

in order to study the effective factors in sugar beet production, evaluation of technical, allocative and economical efficiency of sugar beet producers in bardsir city, 150 sugar beet producers were questioned by classified method. data were collected through questionnaire forms filled by producers in 2004-05. the stochastic frontier production and cost function method were used to analyze the ...

due to agriculture is a risky activity and risk models is important in order to analyze the behavior of farmers, hence, in this study, the factors affecting risk-taking and risk aversion is the region grape growers. data analysis was performed by using stochastic frontier. data gathered by questionnaires at three counties of zabol, hirmand and zahak at 265 grape farmers in crop year of 2011-201...
