The aim of the study was assessment of efficiency and productivity of farms in the Lublin province in the years 2014-2016. The analysis was based on the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model oriented on inputs and Malmquist indices with its components. The calculations were made for medium-sized field and dairy farms that continuously collected data for the FADN system during the period under consideration. In our research all efficiency indicators for dairy farms were larger than for field crop farms. In the years 2014-2016, the average technical efficiency of dairy farms was 0.752, which means that in those farms it is possible to reduce inputs on average by 25% and the value of production will remain at the same level. In the case of field crop farms, inputs should be limited by 33%. The applied decomposition of calculated Malmquist indices allowed to define what factors influenced changes in productivity.

The study aims to measure the technical and intertemporal efficiency and find the primary source of productivity change on top three telecommunication firms in each country of ASEAN-5 (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and Singapore) from 2010 to 2016. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) bootstrapping with 2000 iterations, DEA window, and Malmquist index are applied to calculate technical efficiency, intertemporal efficiency, and productivity change. The estimation results elucidate that, on average, the technical efficiency of firms is relatively low. On the opposite, the intertemporal efficiency results indicate that the mean efficiency score of each window is high. However, the LDW and LDP tend to be high, showing that the efficiency scores fluctuate. The Malmquist index calculation yields that technological progress possesses a significant contribution to productivity change.Keywords: Technical Efficiency, Intertemporal Efficiency, Productivity Change, Telecommunication Industry, ASEAN-5  JEL Classifications: L8, F6, O5, O1, O3

This paper provides an assessment of technical efficiency and productivity change for a sample of large-scale arable farms in Germany. For this, the paper applies input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Malmquist Index (MI) methods in combination with bootstrapping to a balanced five-year panel data set of 86 German large-scale arable farms over a time period from 2012/2013 to 2016/2017. The DEA results of the original sample show a mean input-saving potential of 9.2 % across farms and time periods. The bootstrapped confidence intervals indicate no statistically significant difference among the mean scores for individual years, however significant differences exist between individual farms. The results of the MI analysis of the original sample suggest a mean annual growth in total factor productivity of 5.4 %. This progress was driven by technical change (6.5 %) and happened despite a small average deterioration in change in technical efficiency (1.1 %). The progress in total factor productivity as well as technical change is statistically underpinned through the bootstrapped confidence intervals. The result of change in technical efficiency computed from the original sample cannot be confirmed statistically as the corresponding confidence interval includes unity.

Abstract Background: To date, there is no synthesized evidence about the technical efficiency (TE) of cross-country tobacco control policies. This study aims to measure the efficiency and productivity of tobacco control policies across 16 selected countries of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) from 2008 to 2014.Method: We used data envelopment analysis (DEA). MPOWER is an acronym for a WHO proposed package consisting of six tobacco reduction interventions that can be adapted to present a commitment of the parties to a treaty labeled FCTC (Framework Convention on Tobacco Control).Taxation on tobacco products and pictorial warning labels were chosen as the inputs. Percentage of daily smokers’ population above 15 years old and the number of cigarettes used per smoker per day were output variables. Additionally, the Malmquist total factor productivity (TFP) was used to analyze the panel data and measure productivity change and technical efficiency changes over time.Results: The highest TE score (1.05) was attributed to Norway and the lowest (0.9175) belonged to the United Kingdom (UK). Technological change with a total average of 1.069 would imply that the technology and creativity have increased, while countries have been able to promote their creativity over the time period. Norway with the TFP score of 1.15 was the most productive country, while the UK and Turkey with the TFP scores of 0.95 and .098 respectively, were the least productive countries in the implementation of the MPOWER policies.Conclusion: Most OECD countries have productively implemented MPOWER policies. Such productive performances are the results of the strong pivotal pictorial warnings. Consequently, the policy of plain packaging seems to hamper the MPOWER policies. Taxation on tobacco products were relatively weak and inefficient.

Since 1980, Ethiopia has been struggling to feed its growing population, despite the fact that agriculture is the mainstay of its economy. A number of government initiatives aimed at raising food production and ensuring national food security have made little progress in achieving their objectives. This paper identifies some of the implications of the new agricultural intensification programme, focusing on the technical efficiency and productivity of maize growers in the Harari region of Ethiopia for food insecurity and agricultural development policies. The paper concludes that there is scope to improve the technical efficiency of maize farmers and enhance their socioeconomic situation in the Harari region.
