Vegetable production is one important agricultural product in crop after wheat and potatoes Mongolia. Currently, household dominates total vegetable (approximately 80 percent). Thus, the purposes of this paper were to measure technical efficiency determine influencing factors inefficiency on Mongolia by using Stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). Primary data was collected from randomly selected ...

    Background: Assessment of hospitals’ performance in achieving its goals is a basic necessity. Measuring the efficiency of hospitals in order to boost resource productivity in healthcare organizations is extremely important. The aim of this study was to measure technical efficiency and determining status of resource allocation in some university hospitals, in Tehran, Iran.   Methods : This s...

The recent Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform of the financial support mechanism for farms was introduced in 2005. According to this reform, the level of support that each farm receives is paid regardless of the current level of production. The decoupling of direct payments is expected to change production decisions, as farmers will change their mainly subsidy revenue maximization objectiv...

BACKGROUND Rankings from the World Health Organization (WHO) place the US health care system as one of the least efficient among Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. Researchers have questioned this, noting simplistic or inappropriate methodologies, poor measurement choice, and poor control variables. Our objective is to re-visit this question by using newer m...

This study examines the cost and profit efficiency of banking sectors in twelve transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) over the period 1993-2000, using the stochastic frontier approach (SFA) and the distribution free approach (DFA). The managerial inefficiencies in CEE banking markets were found to be significant, with average cost efficiency level for 12 countries of 72 and 7...

Hence, main objective study is explore what learned from over years. This uses bibliometric analysis analyze top productive countries, 10 journals, prominent authors, 20 cited articles, emerging themes. Selected findings indicated that Un...

During the last decade, oyster aquaculture has rebounded in Virginia and been associated with an increase subaqueous leased area. Production levels remain historically low, however, many leases are thought to be underutilized. This study uses a novel approach leveraging high-resolution environmental data evaluate lease utilization identify constraints on development. Stochastic Frontier Analysi...

As global competition has intensified in the automotive industry, there is a strong need for management teams to develop methods that allow accurate and objective assessments of plant productivity identify improvement opportunities best manufacturing practices. Stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) models have been used as statistical benchmarking tool provide bird’s-eye view an industrial sector....

In this paper we investigate whether destruction due to natural disasters induces industries increase their regional production efficiency using the case of pre-war Japan, a setting frequent and technological upgrading. To end compile sectoral dataset disaster for machinery textiles. We then employ stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) approach estimate role events on changes in efficiency. Our re...
