Efficiency in Social Versus Private Agricultural Production: The Case of Yugoslavia
使用随机生产前沿方法，发现南斯拉夫私人农业部门产出效率高于社会部门，并分析了区域效率差异，表明欠发达共和国未能有效利用发达地区通过中央政府分配的投资资源。
This paper extends the work of Michael L. Boyd (1987) by examining the question of efficiency in Yugoslavian agricultural production using the stochastic production frontier. The authors fin d the private sector produces with higher output efficiency than the social sector. Next, they examine regional efficiency differences. The authors' findings reinforce earlier analysis of the economic impact of regional development policy pursued.in Yugoslavia. Less developed republics appeared unable to utilize efficiently the large volume of investment resources allocated from the more developed republics via the central government.
