Climate Change, Heat Stress, and U.S. Dairy Production (2014, unknown): “The stochastic production frontier approach has been widely used to estimate the technical efficiency of a variety of crop and livestock production systems (e.g., Ahmad and Bravo-Ureta, 1996; Kumbhakar and Heshmati, 1995; Cabrera et al., 2010; Mayen et al., 2010).”
Comparative Economics of Conventional, Organic, and Alternative Agricultural Production Systems (2021, background): “Using propensity score matching, Mayen et al. (2010) derived a value of 13% reduced productivity when comparing organic to conventional dairy systems.”
Technical efficiency analysis correcting for biases from observed and unobserved variables: an application to a natural resource management project (2012, methodology): “These results clearly show that the efficiency gap between beneficiaries and control farmers decreases by implementing the matching technique, which is consistent with findings reported by Mayen et al. (2010).”
Organic farmers or conventional farmers: Where's the money? (2012, background): “, 2004; Baser, 2006; Becker and Caliendo, 2007; Becker and Ichino, 2002; Nannicini, 2007) as well as some empirical applications in agricultural economics (Liu and Lynch, 2007; Mayen et al., 2010; Tauer, 2009).”
Modern Rice Technologies and Productivity in the Philippines: Disentangling Technology from Managerial Gaps (2015, background): “In the findings reported by Mayen et al. (2010) and Bravo-Ureta et al. (2012) the evidence of bias was the opposite, where the differentials between treated and control units decreased as correction for bias was implemented.”
Precision agriculture technology adoption and technical efficiency (2021, methodology): “Instead, we opt for the more parsimonious dualheteroscedasticity model used elsewhere in the production literature (Hadri, 1999; Hadri, Guermat, & Whittaker, 2003; Mayen et al., 2010).”
Technical efficiency and conversion to organic farming: the case of France (2014, background): “In a recent article Mayen, Balagtas, and Alexander (2010), using formal testing, reject the hypothesis that organic and conventional farms employ a single, homogeneous technology using data on US dairy farms.”
