China’s African swine fever (ASF) outbreak, which started in 2018, has had a huge and far-reaching impact on China’s hog industry, and it has not been completely eliminated so far. This article analyzes the impact of the ASF epidemic on t...
This paper proposes a stochastic frontier model for measuring both technical and environmental performance at the mine level by using a translog production function. The Kardia Field opencast lignite mine of the Greek Public Power Corporation (PPC),...
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on forest product markets and the forest product industry, and has also seriously affected the sales of forest products. This research aimed to analyze people’s preference for wood furniture and make...
This paper aimed to study how industrial air pollution impacts crop yield by investigating the relationship between output and changes in factors. A translog production function was estimated in the context of stochastic frontier analysis using data...
The intensive utilization of agricultural inputs is key to agricultural modernization. This study analyzed the elasticity of substitution among inputs in Chinese grain production (1991–2023) using a Translog production function, controlling for...
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected social order and people’s health and has also caused a heavy blow to the livestock industry, affecting animal management and welfare. The livestock industry is one of the main contributors to economic growth i...
This study aims to evaluate the economic and environmental efficiency of Asian and African economies. In the model proposed, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is considered as the desired output and Greenhouse Gases (GHG), like carbon dioxide (CO2) emissi...
The olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is a significant aquaculture species in Korea, yet production has stagnated due to rising costs, environmental pressures, and shifting consumer preferences. Enhancing farm efficiency is critical not only fo...
Agricultural food is generally regarded as the basis of “national security” by most countries. Through marketing strategies, promoting the sales of agri-food products in the context of a pandemic is of great significance to national food...
This study analyzed sea salt production and compared the technical efficiency level and the technology gap between traditional technology and High-Density Polyethylene Geomembranes (HDPE GMB) technology in the Phetchaburi province using a copula-base...
As typical representatives of China’s industrial sectors, energy intensive industries are the focus of energy conservation. This study constructs a trans-log production function and stochastic frontier analysis model to analyze the impact of en...
Recent years have seen an increasing awareness of the relative advantage of organic and conventional agriculture. This study aims to analyze the environmental efficiency of organic and conventional cotton in Benin. A Translog hyperbolic distance func...
China agricultural development has been facing the problem of resource constraints because its resources per capita such as land and energy are relatively lower than the global average. By applying the provincial agricultural panel data from 2000 to...
Optimizing the industry development system and implementing a high-quality development strategy in China’s coal industry require us to grasp the overall status and regional differences of industrial development. Measuring and decomposing the to...
To find out whether carbon sequestration is both effective at mitigating climate change and promoting economic growth, in this paper, by adopting a stochastic frontier panel model with translog production function, carbon sequestration is incorporate...
The COVID-19 pandemic may have had a negative impact on dairy consumption trends. Many dairy products are perishable and have relatively high income elasticity, causing their susceptibility to market fluctuations in general, including those specifica...
We estimate measures of economies of scale and scope for a sample of 48 Canadian universities that produce multiple outputs. Estimates have not been previously attempted for Canadian universities to our knowledge. Declining financial support from pro...
As rural labor prices have risen constantly over the last two decades, Chinese grain production that relies heavily on manual labor has been subjected to considerable challenges and has experienced profound changes in land use patterns. Using a fixed...
The South Korean natural gas (NG) import volume in 2017 was 33.7 million tonnes per annum (13.1%), making it the second-largest NG-importing country in the world after Japan. Nevertheless, the NG wholesale market in South Korea has remained monopolis...
Agricultural technological change plays a crucial role in food security and agricultural development. In the case of considering economic risks and technical risk tolerance, farmers will use different technologies to match production factors to achie...
Currently, Pakistan is in a stage of urbanization and industrialization, raising its energy demand and supply and carbon dioxide emissions (CO2Es) due to the excessive use of fossil fuels. In meeting future demand and supply predictions, much emphasi...
