Book Synopsis Agricultural Productivity by : Virgil Ball
Download or read book Agricultural Productivity written by Virgil Ball and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural Productivity: Measurement and Sources of Growth addresses measurement issues and techniques in agricultural productivity analysis, applying those techniques to recently published data sets for American agriculture. The data sets are used to estimate and explain state level productivity and efficiency differences, and to test different approaches to productivity measurement. The rise in agricultural productivity is the single most important source of economic growth in the U.S. farm sector, and the rate of productivity growth is estimated to be higher in agriculture than in the non-farm sector. It is important to understand productivity sources and to measure its growth properly, including the effects of environmental externalities. Both the methods and the data can be accessed by economists at the state level to conduct analyses for their own states. In a sense, although not explicitly, the book provides a guide to using the productivity data available on the website of the U.S. Department of Agriculture/Economic Research Service. It should be of interest to a broad spectrum of professionals in academia, the government, and the private sector.

Book Synopsis The Productive Efficiency in Agriculture: Recent Methodological Advances by : Bouali Guesmi
Download or read book The Productive Efficiency in Agriculture: Recent Methodological Advances written by Bouali Guesmi and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firm-level productivity and efficiency analyses have important implications for the evaluation of their economic viability and sustainability. The assessment of a firm's performance requires the use of an adequate methodological approach to derive sound efficiency estimates. By targeting economic sectors not previously investigated and using new methodological approaches, this thesis contributes to the literature both from a methodological and empirical point of view. Three specific objectives have been pursued in three papers that constitute the main body of the present thesis. The main purpose of the first paper is to compare the efficiency ratings of organic and conventional grape farms in Catalonia. To do so, we fit a stochastic production frontier to cross sectional, farm-level data collected from a sample of 141 Catalan farms that specialize in grape growing. Results show that organic farmers, on average, are more efficient than their conventional counterparts (efficiency ratings are on the order of 0.80 and 0.64, respectively). Apart from adoption of organic practices, experience is also found to improve technical efficiency. Conversely, technical efficiency tends to decrease with the relevance of unpaid family labor, farm location in less favored areas, and farmers' concerns for environmental preservation. In the second paper, local maximum likelihood (LML) methods, recently proposed by Kumbhakar et al. (2007), are applied to assess the technical efficiency of a sample of arable crop Kansas farms. LML techniques overcome the most relevant limitations associated to mainstream parametric and nonparametric frontier models. Results suggest that Kansas farms reach technical efficiency levels on the order of 91%. These results are compared with data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis efficiency estimates. The last paper focuses on the assessment of technical and environmental efficiency of Catalan arable crop farms. Specifically, we apply the methodology recently developed by Coelli et al. (2007) and extend it to a consideration of the stochastic conditions under which production takes place, as proposed by Chambers and Quiggin (1998 and 2000). Results suggest that sample farms reach technical and environmental efficiency levels on the order of 93% and 74%, respectively.

Book Synopsis Water Productivity in Agriculture by : J. W. Kijne
Download or read book Water Productivity in Agriculture written by J. W. Kijne and published by CABI. This book was released on 2003 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First title in a major new seriesAddresses improving water productivity to relieve problems of scarcity and competition to provide for food and environmental securityDraws from scientists having a multitude of disciplines to approach this important problemIn a large number of developing countries, policy makers and researchers are increasingly aware of the conflicting demands on water, and look at agriculture to be more effective in its use of water. Focusing on both irrigated and rain-fed agriculture, this book gives a state of the art review of the limits and opportunities for improving water productivity in crop production. It demonstrates how efficiency of water use can be enhanced to maximize yields. The book represents the first in a new series of volumes resulting from the Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture, a research program conducted by the CGIAR's Future Harvest Centres, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and partners worldwide. It will be of significant interest to those working in areas of soil and crop science, water management, irrigation, and development studies.

Book Synopsis Farmer Education and Farm Efficiency by : Dean T. Jamison
Download or read book Farmer Education and Farm Efficiency written by Dean T. Jamison and published by Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1982 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the relationship between the education farmers have received and their subsequent efficiency as farm operators. The concern is with the self-employed in agriculture, the small farmer. The study is concerned solely with ascertaining empirically the effect of schooling on agricultural efficiency and, when possible, the effect of access to information as measured by exposure to extension services. The study uses data from Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand; related findings from several other countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are reviewed. Surveys of individual farms provide the data used in the empirical analyses. Analyses from Thailand indicate that farmers of all educational levels are maximizing profits. However, more educated farmers do have higher levels of profits, which reflect the higher levels of productivity found in the production function analyses. Education has little effect on market efficiency. Higher levels of education and exposure to extension services increase the probabilities of using chemical fertilizers. The effects of education were much more likely to be positive in modernizing agricultural environments rather than in traditional ones.
