Efficiency Measures in the Agricultural Sector: With Applications de Armando Mendes

Efficiency Measures in the Agricultural Sector: With Applications

Editat de Armando Mendes, Emiliana L. D. G. Soares da Silva, Jorge M. Azevedo Santos
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 dec 2012
The editors draw on a 3-year project that analyzed a Portuguese area in detail, comparing this study with papers from other regions. Applications include the estimation of technical efficiency in agricultural grazing systems (dairy, beef and mixed) and specifically for dairy farms. The conclusions indicate that it is now necessary to help small dairy farms in order to make them more efficient. These results can be compared with the technical efficiency of a sample of Spanish dairy processing firms presented by Magdalena Kapelko and co-authors.

Recenzii

“The papers published in this text are organized inchapters. There are 13 research/applications and expository papers in thisedited volume. It is anticipated that this collection will be useful forresearchers working in the agriculture efficiency analysis and related fields.… this text proves to be an appropriate and timely contribution to a wider hostcommunity working in an agriculture sector.” (Technometrics, Vol. 56 (3), August, 2014)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Efficiency Measures in the Agricultural Sector opens with detailed descriptions of measurement techniques such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), which are often used to support models in analysis of agricultural productivity, based on mathematical programming (non-parametric, non-stochastic) models or econometric (stochastic, parametric) models.
Among the factors studied using these techniques are the abundance of subsidies, strong competition between regions worldwide and the need for efficient production systems. In some countries like Portugal, this sector is being revitalized in face of the need for reducing imports.
The editors draw on a 3-year project that analyzed a Portuguese area in detail, comparing this study with papers from other regions. Applications include the estimation of technical efficiency in agricultural grazing systems (dairy, beef and mixed) and specifically for dairy farms. The conclusions indicatethat it is now necessary to help small dairy farms in order to make them more efficient. These results can be compared with the technical efficiency of a sample of Spanish dairy processing firms presented by Magdalena Kapelko and co-authors.
