A twelve-year (1994-2006) panel data in Bukidnon, Philippines was used to quantify the indirect relationship between soil conservation technology adoption and upland corn productivity...Volume 6 Issue No. 2 (December 2009) -
Technical Efficiency of Rice-Producing Households in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam
Technical Effi ciency (TE) is an estimation of the ability of a household to produce the maximum output with the given inputs. It is usually estimated by using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). Data collected from 261 rice-farming households in the Mekong...Volume 6 Issue No. 2 (December 2009)
