production subsidies, as a part of the strategy of economic growth of the agricultural sector, are of great importance around the world. subsidizing production inputs, particularly energy input, is another way of directing subsidy to the agricultural sector. in this research, production function of the agricultural sector was estimated using econometric methods and time series data. after calcu...

abstract level of groundwater is decreased which is mainly because, withdrawal of groundwater is increased, because of lack of right management. economics of rural based farming and farming is dependent of water so decreasing of groundwater effects social welfare. in this study decrease of welfare measure by reason of reduction of groundwater level considered. this study investigated the impact...

an optimal desirability function method is proposed to optimize multiple responses in multiple production scenarios, simultaneously. in dynamic environments, changes in production requirements in each condition create different production scenarios. therefore, in multiple production scenarios like producing in several production lines with different technologies in a factory, various fitted res...

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 ...

quantitative analysis of production through evaluation of inputs consumption quantity is of main principles in agricultural policies, which is followed by increasing in production through optimal use of resources. this study has been conducted to estimate different types of production functions in mechanized farms of broiler chicks located in gorgan city. cross-section survey data were gathered...

In recent years, the value-added created in the transportation industry is about 8 percent of GDP of Iran. Due to the high-induced effect of transportation sector on the whole economy, analyzing transportation production function and its determinant is of great value for policymakers. The objective of the present research is to estimate the transportation production for the case of Iran and to ...

â â â  â â  abstract â  the importance of community's health followed by the consideration of endogenous growth models has led to an increase in health expenditure of countries to speed up economic growth and development. this has made the efficiency of health production function to an essential issue especially in developing countries. based upon this, the present study with employing the...

water shortage in the agricultural sector is currently a major challenge in crop production. the more efficient water usage is that which increases yield without increasing water use. thus, a determination of the water-yield relationship is essential. a field study was conducted to examine water-yield relations in three genotypes of soybeans, including optimum irrigation depth, a comparison of ...

adopting a policy and deciding on long-term investment in the mining industry by a government orprivate sector actors depends strongly on the ability to predict the scarcity of mineral reserves. changein scarcity of mineral reserves is a function of several technological and non-technological factors.among them, change in technology is the most significant factor affecting scarcity. this paper ...
