This book presents a mathematical programming approach to the analysis of production frontiers and efficiency measurement. The authors construct a variety of production frontiers, and by measuring distances to them are able to develop a model of efficient producer behavior and a taxonomy of possible types of departure from efficiency in various environments. Linear programming is used as an analytical and computational technique in order to accomplish this. The approach developed is then applied to modeling producer behavior. By focusing on the empirical relevance of production frontiers and distances to them, and applying linear programming techniques to artificial data to illustrate the type of information they can generate, this book provides a unique study in applied production analysis. It will be of interest to scholars and students of economics and operations research, and analysts in business and govement.

By adopting the Single Farm Payment (SFP) scheme only limited support for agriculture is tied to current production decisions. This is also true of U.S. farm policy. The reform act of 1996 introduced greater planting flexibility, shifted...

Springer – 2007, 267 pages ISBN: 0387351558 The topic of production efficiency has attracted attention since Adam Smith’s pin factory and even before. However, a rigorous analytical approach to the measurement of efficiency in production originated with the work of Koopmans (1951) and Debreu (1951), empirically applied by Farrell (1957). Farrell’s seminal work gave rise to a considerable amount of studies. The basic idea of efficiency analysis i...
