How Might Shadow Price Restrictions Reduce Technical Efficiency? Evidence from a Restricted DEA Analysis of Coffee Farms in Vietnam

We use data from smallholder coffee farms in Vietnam to measure the technical efficiency of coffee producers, and the degree to which potential restrictions on the shadow prices of chemical inputs might reduce overall efficiency among these farmers. Using input-oriented data envelopment analysis (DE...

Using input-oriented data envelopment analysis (DEA) we find the use of pesticide and herbicide accounts for a relatively small proportion of overall technical efficiency in the sample. We place restrictions on input shadow prices and show that restricting their importance does not dramatically alter patterns or measures of short-run efficiency. 2012-03-30T07:34:25Z 2012-03-30T07:34:25Z 2011 Journal Article Journal of Agricultural Economics 0021857X http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5762 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Vietnam
