A stochastic production frontier has been estimated to measure the technical efficiency of an unbalanced panel of beef cattle farms extracted from the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) databank of Veneto region in Italy. The technical efficiency is measured based on the estimation of a non-neutral and heteroscedastic production frontier. The model explains the average value of technical inefficiency as a linear function of the farm-specific variables (Battese and Coelli, 1995) and the input interaction variables (Huang and Liu, 1994). The inefficiency term is assumed to be distributed as a truncated normal with a heteroscedastic variance explained as a function of the farm-specific variables (Reifschneider and Stevenson, 1991). The average value of the... |
