Estimating the technical optimal scale of production in Danish agriculture
Abstract This paper uses representative farm account data for 1985–2007 to estimate stochastic production frontiers in the form of input distance functions for Danish crop, dairy and pig farms. The…
Scale efficiency in Danish agriculture: an input distance–function approach
This paper presents the results of an analysis that predicts the scale efficiency of individual farms and analyses the differences in scale efficiency over time and between farms. Representative farm…

Unconditional factor demands and supply response for livestock products: A farm-level analysis of the Southern Rangelands of Kenya
This paper evaluates output supply and input factor demands for livestock products in the Southern rangelands of Kenya. A flexible translog profit function that permits the application of the primal…
Livestock product supply and factor demand responsiveness
Despite there being incredible challenges in enhancing livestock development in Kenya, this article isolates product supply and factors input demand responsiveness as the main constraints facing the…
Aggregation of Efficiency and Productivity: From Firm to Sector and Higher Levels
Here we consider various cases where researchers are interested in measuring aggregate efficiency or productivity levels or their changes for a group of decision making units. These could be entire…
A Parametric Estimation of Total Factor Productivity and Its Components in U.S. Agriculture
&NA; The present study aims at improving our understanding of the individual contribution of the components of total factor productivity (TFP) change to U.S. agricultural productivity. A novel…
Exploring EV adoption using an agent-based modeling approach
  • Business
  • 2017
This paper describes a model that is used to predict the electric vehicle(EV) adoption in Dutch neighborhoods from 2016 to 2035. The agent-based modeling is used to simulate the car market. The car…
A superlative index number formula for the Hicks-Moorsteen productivity index
The Malmquist and Hicks-Moorsteen productivity indexes are the two most widely used theoretical indexes for measuring productivity growth. Since these productivity indexes are defined by unknown…

THE EXISTENCE of increasing returns to scale in production poses a number of difficult problems. In general equilibrium theory the problems are obvious. Standard results on the competitive…
