Technical efficiency and productivity differentials of dairy farms in three EU countries: the role of CAP subsidies (2012, background): “Family labor tests whether it increases (e.g. Hallam and Machado, 1996) or decreases (e.g. Tzouvelekas et al., 2001) farm performance.”
PROFIT EFFICIENCY AMONG BANGLADESHI RICE FARMERS (2003, background): “The popular approach to measure efficiency, the technical efficiency component, is the use of frontier production function1 (e.g., Tzouvelekas et al., 2001; Wadud and White, 2000; Sharma et al., 1999; Sharif and Dar, 1996; Battesse and Coelli, 1995, Battesse, 1992; Russell and Young, 1983).”
Technical efficiency and conversion to organic farming: the case of France (2014, methodology): “For this reason, in addition to cleaning manually inconsistent data, outliers were removed before efficiency computations with DEA and FDH, based on Wilson (1993)’s outlier detection method that relies on comparing geometric volumes spanned by subsets of data.”
Technology Adoption and Technical Efficiency: Organic and Conventional Dairy Farms in the United States (2010, unknown): “Not surprisingly, several studies have documented reduced yields of organic farms relative to conventional farms (Tzouvelekas, Pantzios, and Fotopoulos 2001a; Tzouvelekas, Pantzios, and Fotopoulos 2001b; Oude Lansink, Pietola, and Backman 2002; Sipilainen and Oude Lansink 2005; Kumbhakar, Tsionas,…”
Measuring the technical efficiency and exploring the inefficiency determinants of vegetable farms in Samsun province, Turkey (2007, background): “…Yotopoulos, 1971; Sidhu, 1974; Kalirajan, 1984; Kumbhakar, 1987; Ali and Chaudhry, 1990; Papadas and Dahl, 1991; Battese et al., 1996; Laura Gow and Langemeier, 1999; Morrison, 2000; Lerman, 2001; Mathijs and Swinnen, 2001; Tzouvelekas et al., 2001; Latruffe et al., 2002; Alvares and Arias, 2004).”
Joint estimation of technology choice and technical efficiency: an application to organic and conventional dairy farming (2009, methodology): “Tzouvelekas et al. (2001) argued that the use of subsidies might lead to increased technical inefficiency, especially if subsidies attract farmers who are more interested in additional support than developing efficient organic farming practices.”
