ABSTRACT

The present study concerns the impact of knowledge capital on total factor productivity (TFP) changes in 27 European Union (EU) countries. The TFP analysis covered the years 2009-2013. The study conducted was based on a Malmquist productivity index. The knowledge capital was approximated through investments in research and development in the years 2000 and 2008. Furthermore, the study included

Authors: Torben Tiedemann, Uwe Latacz-Lohmann

This article sets out to investigate the development of total factor productivity in organic and conventional agriculture in the period from 1999/2000 to 2006/07. Productivity development is assessed with the use of Malmquist Indices based on Stochastic Frontier Ana-lysis. The analysis is based on a balanced panel of farm records of 151 organic and conventional…

A Review of Approaches with an Application to EU Countries

Authors: Martin Petrick, Mathias Kloss

We examine the plausibility of four established and innovative identification strategies for agricultural production functions using farm-level panel datasets from five EU countries. Newly suggested proxy and dynamic panel approaches provide attractive conceptual improvements over received Within and duality models. Even so, empirical implementation of such advancements does not always live up to

The Measurement of Time-Varying Technical Efficiency and Productivity Change in Polish Crop Farms

Published: 01.03.2019
Authors: Jerzy Marzec, Andrzej Pisulewski

The main aim of this study is to measure the technical efficiency and decompose total factor productivity (TFP) growth of Polish crop farms. The novelty of our contribution is threefold. First of all, our work contributes to research on agricultural performance of Central and Eastern European countries in the post-European Union accession period. Secondly, compared…
