  1. 11. 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.

  4. 13. Eco-Efficiency of 35 sectors of Sweden: A Stochastic Frontier Analysis

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

    Author : Tehmina Batool; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This paper analyzed the eco-efficiency of 35 sectors in Sweden by using an outputoriented Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) model. In the setup of the model, the total output of each sector was used as a good output, whereas Carbon dioxide (𝐶𝑂2), Nitrogen oxide (𝑁𝑂𝑥) and Carbon monoxide (CO) emissions were used as a bad output.

  5. 14. 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.

  6. 15. On the Modelling of Stochastic Gradient Descent with Stochastic Differential Equations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Analys och partiella differentialekvationer

    Author : Martin Leino; [2023]
    Keywords : stochastic gradient descent; stochastic differential equations; statistical machine learning;

    Abstract : Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is arguably the most important algorithm used in optimization problems for large-scale machine learning. Its behaviour has been studied extensively from the viewpoint of mathematical analysis and probability theory; it is widely held that in the limit where the learning rate in the algorithm tends to zero, a specific stochastic differential equation becomes an adequate model of the dynamics of the algorithm.
