Agricultural Productivity in the European Regions: Trends and Explanatory Factors (2007, background): “This relationship is one of the most widely studied throughout the literature, despite the lack of any conclusive findings (see the review by Alvarez and Arias, 2004).”
Effect of Agricultural Extension Program on Smallholders' Farm Productivity: Evidence from Three Peasant Associations in the Highlands of Ethiopia (2013, unknown): “This finding is consistent with earlier observations by Sharma et al. (1999), Lundvall and Battese (2000), and Alvarez and Arias (2004), who have all reported a positive relation between average land productivity and land size. www.ccsenet.org/jas Journal of Agricultural Science Vol. 5, No. 8;…”
Endogeneity in Stochastic Frontier Models (2016, methodology): “The data set is an extension of the data analyzed by Alvarez and Arias (2004), to whom we are grateful for providing the data.”
The cost efficiency of trout farms in the Black Sea Region, Turkey (2006, methodology): “Many earlier studies on technical efficiency in agriculture focus on crop and livestock farms by using production function, parametric or non-parametric frontier function and mathematical programming with cross-sectional, panel or aggregate data (Chennerady, 1967; Sahota, 1968; Lau and Yotopoulos, 1”
Gender discrimination and its impact on income, productivity, and technical efficiency: evidence from Benin (2010, result): “These findings are consistent with earlier observations by Jovanovic (1982), Kalaitzandonakes et al. (1992), Sharma et al. (1999), Lundvall and Battese (2000), and Alvarez and Arias (2004) , who have all reported a positive relation between average total productivity and farm size.”

Reconsidering Conventional Explanations of the Inverse Productivity-Size Relationship (2009, unknown): “Since then, the inverse relationship has been observed in Africa (Barrett, 1996; Collier, 1983; Kimhi, 2006), Asia (Akram-Lodhi, 2001; Benjamin & Brandt, 2002; Carter, 1984; Heltberg, 1998; Rios & Shively, 2005), Europe (Alvarez & Arias, 2004) and Latin America (Berry & Cline, 1979), among others.”
Stochastic Frontier Analysis using Stata (2013, methodology): “More details on these variables are available in Cuesta (2000) and Alvarez and Arias (2004). We have estimated three models with time-varying inefficiency: the Normal-Half Normal Kumbhakar (1990) model (kumb90), a random effect model by means of the Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) method, ”
