Measurement of Farm Efficiency in Agricultural Sector of India:A Study
Abstract: While the non-parametric production function is based on linear programming, the parametric production function is estimated using stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). The efficiency is assessed using a non-parametric technique known as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) (Charnes, Cooper, & Rhodes, 1978).. The primary benefit of the DEA technique is that it circumvents certain drawbacks of the parametric approach by requiring simply a little portion of a priori assumptions about the functional …
