| This paper is addressed to the traditional problem of demonstrating the relevance of production theory to management-oriented people. Activity analysis, it is argued, is the most appropriate pedagogic framework within which to commence either a production economics or a farm management course. Production economics theory has not been widely accepted as a useful method for the analysis of practical management problems. The theory has been traditionally presented in terms of continuous functions which assume away the question of technical efficiency. Activity analysis, in its general form, is a more comprehensive approach to the theory of production than the conventional neo-classical production function approach since activity analysis explicitly... |

| This paper reports on estimates of the supply response to price changes of Australian broadacre farmers using a programming model. The products examined were beef, sheep meat, wool and cereals. Medium-term own-price and cross-price elasticities were estimated from a designed experiment with the model. These elasticities are presented and discussed in the context of estimates from other studies. |

| Abstract Soil nutrient loss due to soil erosion and removal in harvest with traditional farming methods where farmers do not use any fertilisers threatens the sustainability of vegetable productions in the Philippine uplands. Consequently, poor farmers are losing incomes due to declining yields. The situation is reaching crisis point. A bio-economic analysis is used in this research to investigate the economic returns in terms of gross and net annual income over time for upland farmers from adopting alternative soil management options. Cost benefit analysis is used to compare the net returns to farmers from potential management options. A bio-physical model, SCUAF, is used to simulate the long-run tomato yields and associated soil erosion, over a... |
