This book employs different parametric and non-parametric panel
data models which have been used in history of developed panel data
efficiency measurement literature. It assesses the differences of
models based on characteristics and efficiency scores measurement
using a systematic sensitivity analysis of the results. On the
whole twelve parametric and four nonparametric models were studied.
Parametric models are classified in four groups in terms of the
assumptions made on the temporal behavior of inefficiency. A common
issue among all the parametric models is that inefficiency is
individual producer-specific. This is consistent with the notion of
measuring the efficiency of decision-making units. Non-parametric
models are divided into partial and full frontier models. A main
contribution of this volume is that it helps to understand
differences between parametric and non-parametric models. On
empirical part of the volume, technical efficiency of two
agricultural strategic crops (cotton and sugar beet) in different
provinces of the Iran are analyzed. Using different models, the
most efficient and inefficient provinces in cotton and sugar beet
production of Iran are recognized.
This volume is a collection of twelve selected empirical studies on
the economics of agriculture and natural resources. Twenty-two
authors have contributed their research to this volume. Papers of
this volume are grouped into three main domains covering:
Agricultural Resilience and Sustainability; Agricultural Producers
and Consumers; and Energy Use in Agriculture. Organized in an
analytical framework and offering comprehensive empirical data,
this book focuses on agricultural sustainability and resilience,
environmental efficiency, agricultural extension, foreign trade,
energy use, and agricultural growth aspects of the Iranian
agriculture sector. They demonstrate technical and methodological
tools used for the analysis and explain their application in the
agricultural sector of Iran. This book will be a valuable read for
those managing agricultural enterprises, policy makers, and
researchers of agricultural producers and consumers.
This book presents a collection of ten empirical studies on Iran's
sustainable agriculture and agribusiness, grouped into three
domains: agricultural prices and commodity market analysis; risk
management and climate change; and natural resources and
environmental economics. The various studies elaborate on
sustainable agriculture, climate change, pest management, natural
resources, land-use, agricultural marketing, risk management and
insurance in Iran's agricultural sector. The book also introduces
the key microeconomic principles that are applied to agriculture
from a suitability perspective, and provides policy recommendation
to decision makers and agricultural-product producers. As such it
serves as a supplement to textbooks on applied economics,
agricultural and environmental economics, and offers students and
professionals in agricultural economics, resource economics, risk
management, and food policy as well as general economists
real-world examples of the principles under discussion. Further, it
includes an extensive range of case studies from different regions
of the country, which could be applied in agricultural policy
making process, making it a useful resource for agricultural
planners and decision makers in government agencies.
