1. 1. Assessing the Eco-efficiency of Swedish Crop Farms and the Role of Subsidies : a Directional Distance Function Approach

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Author : Therese Ratilla; [2023]
   Keywords : Swedish crop farmers; CAP subsidies; FADN; stochastic frontier analysis; multi-output; one-step approach;

   Abstract : The agriculture sector’s contribution to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and its increasing vulnerability to the effects of climate change warrants assessments considering not only on-farm productivity but also the industry’s environmental sustainability. Utilizing the concept of eco-efficiency, this study analyzes the environmental performance of Swedish crop farms by incorporating farm-level GHG emissions as an undesirable output in the production function.

3. 2. Eco-efficiency, Institutions, and Political Orientation : A case study of the European Union

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

   Author : Leonard Bovenberg; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis uses the stochastic frontier analysis to estimate efficiency scores for the 28 member countries of the European Union between 2000 and 2019. The material footprints of biomass, non-metallic minerals, metals and fossil fuels are taken as input goods, unlike comparable work, as the overuse of materials is the cause of our current environmental problems.

4. 3. Sources of TFP Growth in Indian Manufacturing Sector: A Frontier Approach

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Author : Nisha Gurulingappa Koppa; [2019]
   Keywords : Total Factor Productivity growth; Technical Progress; Technical Efficiency Change; Stochastic Production Frontier; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Traditionally, Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth, interpreted as growth due to technological advancement, is considered as the main source of long-term economic growth as other factors of input i.e. labor and capital are subjected to diminishing returns. READ MORE

6. 5. Analyzing firm performance in a glass industry: a non-parametric frontier approach

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Serajes Salekeen; Mona Mahram; [2011]
   Keywords : industrial glass factory.; scale efficiency; technical efficiency; non-parametric frontier; economic efficiency; data envelopment analysis; allocative efficiency; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : A non-parametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) method is applied in this study in order for calculating the technical and scale efficiency of a glass factory by means of a production frontier, despite the common trend among contemporary literatures to use stochastic parametric methods and ‘estimate’ the frontier production function. The available aggregated structure of the firm data paved the way for the authors to rethink and adopt a mathematical (linear programming) approach which would make it possible to conduct the study with a limited number of observations and without the detailed form of the production function.
