A bootstrap method for estimating bias and variance in statistical fisheries modelling frameworks using highly disparate datasets 5
Elvarsson, B. P.; Taylor, L.; Trenkel, Verena; Kupca, V.; Stefansson, G..
Statistical models of marine ecosystems use a variety of data sources to estimate parameters using composite or weighted likelihood functions with associated weighting issues and questions on how to obtain variance estimates. Regardless of the method used to obtain point estimates, a method is required for variance estimation. A bootstrap technique is introduced for the evaluation of uncertainty in such models, taking into account inherent spatial and temporal correlations in the datasets, which are commonly transferred as assumptions from a likelihood estimation procedure into Hessian-based variance estimation procedures. The technique is demonstrated on a real dataset and the effects of the number of bootstrap samples on estimation bias and variance...

An approach to calculate a Species Temperature Index for flora based on open data 16
Sparrius, L.B.; Top, G.G. van den; Swaay, C.A.M. van.
To study the relation between changes in local plant communities and shifts in temperature, the temperature niches of the species need to be defined. We calculated the Species Temperature Index (STI) as a proxy for this niche. STI is defined as the mean annual temperature within the range of a species. In this paper, a method is described to calculate the STI for the European flora from open data provided by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and WorldClim global climate data, for 7254 taxa of European vascular plants, bryophytes, algae, and ascomycetes including lichens. The algorithm accounts for incomplete and unbalanced species distribution data. The Community Temperature Index (CTI) is defined as the weighted mean of the STIs of a...

Interference of sample size on multicollinearity diagnosis in path analysis 86
Sari,Bruno Giacomini; Lúcio,Alessandro Dal’Col; Olivoto,Tiago; Krysczun,Dionatan Ketzer; Tischler,André Luís; Drebes,Lucas.
Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the interference of sample size on multicollinearity diagnosis in path analysis. From the analyses of productive traits of cherry tomato, two Pearson correlation matrices were obtained, one with severe multicollinearity and the other with weak multicollinearity. Sixty-six sample sizes were designed, and from the amplitude of the bootstrap confidence interval, it was observed that sample size interfered on multicollinearity diagnosis. When sample size was small, the imprecision of the diagnostic criteria estimates interfered with multicollinearity diagnosis in the matrix with weak multicollinearity.

Productivity Change in Polish Agriculture: An Application of a Bootstrap Procedure to Malmquist Indices 31
Balcombe, Kelvin George; Davidova, Sophia; Latruffe, Laure.
This paper employs bootstrapping to correct for bias and to construct confidence intervals for Malmquist TFP indices derived with DEA. It uses these results to investigate the productivity change in Polish agriculture during a crucial period of the country's transition to a market economy, 1996-2000, when Poland was preparing for accession to the European Union. The bias corrected estimates show regress in productivity at an annual rate of 4 percent. The confidence intervals suggest that between two-thirds and four-fifths of the sample farms (250) in different years might have experienced no change in productivity. The cluster analysis based on confidence bounds reveals three paths of productivity change. Farms which recorded an increase in productivity at...

TECHNICAL AND SCALE EFFICIENCIES FOR CHINESE RURAL CREDIT COOPERATIVES: A BOOTSTRAPPING APPROACH IN DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS 31
Dong, Fengxia; Featherstone, Allen M..
Chinese rural credit cooperatives (RCCs) are a major supplier of credit to the rural sector in the country. However, Chinese RCCs are currently encountering operating problems, and an experimental reform is being carried out to restructure and reform the RCCs. In order to have some idea about the efficacy of reform, it is important to have an understanding of the institutional economics underlying the delivery of rural credit in China. This paper evaluates pure technical efficiency, overall technical efficiency, and scale efficiencies for RCCs in China using nonparametric techniques. The use of a bootstrap algorithm is proposed to perform inference for efficiency measures.

The Use of Bootstrapped Malmquist Indices to Reassess Productivity Change Findings: An Application to a Sample of Polish Farms 31
Balcombe, Kelvin George; Davidova, Sophia; Latruffe, Laure.
The paper assesses the extent to which sampling variation affects findings about Malmquist productivity change derived using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), in the first stage calculating productivity indices and in the second stage investigating the farm-specific change in productivity. Confidence intervals for Malmquist indices are constructed using Simar and Wilson's (1999) bootstrapping procedure. The main contribution of the paper is to account in the second stage for the information provided by the bootstrap in the first stage. The DEA standard errors of the Malmquist indices given by bootstrapping are employed in an innovative heteroscedastic panel regression, using a maximum likelihood procedure. The application is to a sample of 250 Polish farms...

TESTING SYMMETRY AND HOMOGENEITY IN THE AIDS WITH COINTEGRATED DATA USING FULLY-MODIFIED ESTIMATION AND THE BOOTSTRAP 31
Tiffin, J. Richard; Balcombe, Kelvin George.
Convential SUR estimation of the AIDS is shown to lead to small sample bias and distortions in the size of a Wald test for symmetry and homogeneity when the data are cointegrated. A fully-modified estimator is developed in an attempt to remedy these problems. It is shown that this estimator reduces the small sample bias but fails to eliminate the size distortion. Bootstrapping is shown to be ineffective as a method of removing small sample bias in both the conventional and fully modified estimators. Bootstrapping is effective however as a method of removing the size distortion and performs equally well in this respect with both estimators.

Explaining Production Inefficiency in China’s Agriculture using Data Envelope Analysis and Semi-Parametric Bootstrapping 31
Monchuk, Daniel C.; Zhuo, Chen.
In this paper we examine more closely the factors associated with production inefficiency in China’s agriculture. The approach we take involves a two-stage process where output efficiency scores are first estimated using data envelope analysis (DEA), and then in the second stage, variation in the resulting efficiency scores are explained using a truncated regression model with inference based on a semi-parametric bootstrap routine. Among the results we find a heavy industrial presence is associated with reduced agricultural production efficiency and may be an indication that externalities from the industrial process, like air and ground water pollution, affect agricultural production. We also find evidence that counties with a large percentage of the rural...

Animals’ Health Control Efficiency in Northwest Portugal: A Two-stage DEA Approach 31
Costa, Leonardo; Oude Lansink, Alfons G.J.M.; Silva, Elvira.
A two-stage approach is employed to analyze the efficiency of cooperatives responsible for ruminants’ disease control (OPP) at the farm level in Northwest Portugal. In the first stage, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to estimate and decompose input-based overall inefficiency for each OPP. The input-based inefficiency measures are generated using the directional input distance function. In the second stage, the inefficiency estimates are regressed on environmental and organizational factors in order to explain efficiency differentials. Despite substantial environmental differences, the empirical results indicate that most cooperatives can reduce costs by improving scale efficiency and pure technical efficiency.

Welfare Analysis in a Multi-Market Framework: Implications of the Cap Cotton, Maize and Sugar Beet Regime in Greece 31
Katranidis, Stelios D..
This paper examines the welfare effects of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) cotton, maize and sugar beet regimes practiced in Greece after its 1981 entry into the European Union. These markets are considered as horizontally related because there are usually the same farmers that use the same areas to produce various combinations of the relevant products. We use bootstrap techniques to conduct a statistical analysis of the estimated welfare measurements. The welfare analysis indicates that the income amounts transferred to farmers rose significantly in the period between 1981 and 1992. The 1992 CAP reform slowed down this trend, and transfers have remained at an almost statistically constant level since 1992.

MONOTONICITY AND CURVATURE - A BOOTSTRAPPING APPROACH 31
Sauer, Johannes.
This research contributes to the ongoing discussion on functional flexibility and theoretical consistency by comparing the empirical performance of two second order flexible functional forms - the Symmetric Generalized McFadden and the Transcendental Logarithmic. It proposes an estimation procedure to enhance the domain of applicability for the Translog by a combination of matrix decomposition, classical non-linear estimation techniques as well as bootstrapping based resampling. The validity of the proposed procedure is exemplified by applying it to a sample of small-scale farmers. The results show that the range of theoretical consistency can be crucially enhanced for the Translog functional form by maintaining its flexibility and statistical...

Efficiency of Investor Owned Firms and Cooperatives Revisited 31
Soboh, Rafat; Oude Lansink, Alfons G.J.M.; van Dijk, Gert.
Providing a performance measure of any firm is a crucial issue, not only for the stakeholders of the firm, but also for policy makers, labor unions, and economists. The relevant performance measures should consider the objectives of the firm’s owners. The ownership structure of cooperatives is different from that of investors owned firms, which in principle implies the need of different tools to measure their performance. Typically, however, the performance of cooperatives and investor owned firm is mostly compared using the same approach. In this study, we use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to compare the performance of dairy cooperatives and investor owned firms in major European dairy producing countries using a traditional approach, which views both...

Valoração contingente do parque "Chico Mendes": uma aplicação probabilística do método Referendum com bidding games 123
Silva,Rubicleis Gomes da; Lima,João Eustáquio de.
A valoração ambiental é uma ferramenta relevante para determinação do valor de bens que não possuem mercado definido. O parque ambiental "Chico Mendes", situado em Rio Branco - Acre, em razão de suas características de não-rivalidade e não-excludência, é um bem público. O método de valoração contingente constitui uma das técnicas que possibilitam a determinação do valor econômico de um bem público. De forma geral, este trabalho busca determinar o valor econômico total do parque "Chico Mendes". Os resultados mostram que a renda familiar, o valor da verdadeira disposição a pagar, o sexo e a idade são variáveis importantes para explicar probabilidade do indivíduo se dispor a contribuir para conservação e manutenção dos serviços oferecidos pelo parque. Por...
