“…Decision making model specification is based on estimating the utility function of farmers by developing weighted goal programing model which is proposed as suitable approach of farmer's behavior in case of multi objectives (Sumpsi, 1997;Amador, 1998). Such farmers' behavior modelling was successfully applied in various agricultural problem fields in different countries (Amador, 1998;Gomez-Limon, 2000;Andre, 2010;Rozakis, 2012). To estimate the utility function of farmers in each cluster following steps were performed:…”

A review of the scientific literature revealed that the use of only one objective, such as the maximization of gross margin, is not sufficient to interpret farmers' behavior. The research problem is to determine whether other attributes such as risk, leisure time also play an important role in their decision making. The paper aims to evaluate Lithuanian crop producers' decision making using a multiobjective optimization approach in relatively small, medium and large farms. The analysis was performed on data from specialist cereals, oilseeds and protein crops' farms covered by FADN. The results of the analysis revealed that Lithuanian specialist cereals, oilseeds and protein crops' producers aim to achieve multiple goals and those goals are different according to farm size. The research also showed that not all famers consider gross margin as its primary objective.

Climate change, increasing demand for water, higher environmental standards and inelastic water supply suggest that future drought response in Southern Europe would require more efficient management of water use. In this context, there is a pressing need for a better understanding of the economic impacts of irrigation restrictions, including their microeconomic and broad economic repercussions. This paper connects a multi-attribute Revealed Preference Model working at an agricultural district level with a regionally calibrated supply and use model that combines nonlinear programming and input-output modeling techniques to address water allocation issues. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time these two modeling approaches are combined in this fashion. Methods are illustrated with an application to the Lower Po River Basin (LPRB) in the Emilia Romagna Region, Italy. Results show that irrigation restrictions generate rising incremental losses in the agricultural districts of the LPRB, which are amplified through negative inter-sectorial feedbacks at a regional level.

“…2 model can't meet cone characteristic (which means that k times resource input can't bring out k times output) [61]. In the economic system, the construction of evaluation indexes system is complicated, some indexes meet core characteristics while others do not, partial important influencing factors would inevitably been given up based on the single DEA model.…”

From the analytical view of a recycling economy, the regional system achieves the goal of sustainable development through improving resource utilization efficiency, reducing energy consumption and ameliorating the quality of water and air. The regional economic system's potential for sustainable development is significantly influenced by regional industrial operational efficiency, which measures the cost of ecology, environment, energy and resources accompanying the economic growth. It is vital for national and regional governments to accelerate harmonious development between products of industrial department, consumption of energy and pollutants discharged. Under the guidance of ecological niche theory and recycling economy theory, the theoretical analysis on efficient relations between regional industrial growth, energy consumption, resources utilization and environmental carrying capacity has been carried out from horizontal and vertical respects. Industrial operational efficiency and the sensitivity coefficient in response to the change of every input and output index can be calculated and critical factors, which restrict sustainable development capability, can be found out so that quantitative references could be provided for administrative decisions. As for the measurement method, a super efficiency mixed data envelopment OPEN ACCESS Sustainability 2014, 6 8486 analysis model, which wipes off self-limited condition and either contains both meeting cone characteristic indexes or not, has been established and applied. Statistics from 1993 to 2012 in China are collected to carry out empirical research. On the basis of further analysis, an adjustment strategy can be constituted to improve the capability for sustainable development.
