This contribution is the first attempt to systematically review all empirical surveys that so far
have been made available in the broad field of efficiency and productivity analysis using …

The study investigates whether African agricultural efficiency levels have been improving or
not and what drives them over the years based on 442 frontier studies using meta …

This article investigates whether study-specific attributes account for systematic variations in
reported technical efficiency (TE) scores in crop production. We conducted a meta …

A non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique was applied to investigate
the degree of efficiency and efficiency change of prefecture-level cities in the North-East …

There is high demand for food commodities due to population growth in sub‐Saharan Africa.
However, the agricultural productivity remains low making it difficult to meet this increased …

We compared stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA)
methods to calculate mean technical efficiency (MTE) of global aquaculture. A total of 36 …

The study investigates the impact of adopting mechanized processing of cassava on
farmers' production efficiency in Uganda. A stochastic production function, using translog …

In times of tight public budgets and deficits, the topic of measuring local government
efficiency increasingly becomes important, both for policymakers in the central governments …

In recent decades, numerous studies have focused on technical efficiency in rice farming,
finding considerable variation in mean technical efficiency (MTE) estimates. We conducted a …

This article presents the use of a stochastic frontier production function to examine the
efficiency of resource utilization in pond fish farming in Uganda. The study draws on data …
