An analysis of technical efficiency on a sample of Greek farms
基于希腊伯罗奔尼撒83个农场的截面数据,估计前沿生产函数,并用技术效率指数衡量生产绩效,发现资源使用效率有较大提升空间。
Having estimated a frontier production function using cross-section data on 83 farms situated in the Peloponese, Greece, an attempt is made to measure the production performance of this group of farms, using a recently developed index of technical efficiency. The measure is computed under various assumptions on the fixity of certain inputs. It is concluded that there is considerable scope for increased efficiency of resource use i.e. the same total output could be produced with substantially less factor usage.
