“…On the other hand, Jeanneney and Kpodar (2011) studied the developing countries and Sub-Saharan African countries and finally concluded that there is a negative relationship between trade liberalization and the income of poor people which create the poverty and poverty gap. Moreover, Freund and Bolaky (2008) examined that trade policy leads to increased poverty whereas several other studies, for example, Fan (1991) and Lin (1992) revealed the opposite result using endogenous threshold regression model happening in China after its economy has been experiencing some degree of globalization. Naranpanawa et al (2011) made a case study on Sri-Lanka using computable general equilibrium which shows trade openness and poverty relationship and found that trade openness increases the poverty in Sri-Lanka which creates the gap between rich and poor.…”

Article HistoryReceived: 10 July JEL ClassificationO50; F63; F14.The objective of the study is to identify the impact of trade policy on two significant goals of sustainable development namely poverty and income inequality in the emerging economies. Using trade openness and trade facilitation as a measure of trade policy the study examines their impact on Gini coefficient and average income of the poorest quintile as a proxy to income inequality and poverty headcount ratio and poverty gap at $1.90 per day (2011 PPP) as indicators of extreme poverty. It applies dynamic panel data model with panel datasets over the period of 1986-2013 for trade openness and 2005-2013 for trade facilitation on the emerging economies based on the availability of data. The findings of the study suggest that trade openness and trade facilitation as measures of trade policy significantly reduce the extreme poverty as measured by poverty headcount ratio and poverty gap at $1.90 a day and increase the average per capita income of the lowest 20% population of the emerging economics whereas the two measures of trade policy increase the income inequality in these economies.

“…If the expected results have not been gained, the elasticity coefficient will be modified. The randomness of the contribution rate of science and technology progress will increase because of this characteristic [6,7]. The regression analysis is accepted with taking into account of every factor in this paper.…”

Since the 1980s, the concept of the knowledge economy and the new theory of economy growth had been proposed which made the science and technology playing more important role and status on economy growth, and it get people's highest attention [1]. In this paper, the new method has been proposed and the contribution rate of science and technology progress in a city from 2004 thru 2012 has been calculated and analyzed as an example. Meanwhile, the software called Eviews has been applied to regression on the base of Solow growth model with introducing the concept of standard labor. The results showed that this method not only can calculate the contribution rate of science and technology progress but also reflect the way of economy growth in this area. Practices have proved that the proposed method in this paper is effective and reasonable relatively.

“…The function is approximated by the quasi -translog functional form, proposed by Fan (1991) and Karagiannis and Tzouvelekas (2001 is an independently and identically distributed one-sided random error term representing the stochastic shortfall of the ith farm output from its production frontier due to the existence of technical inefficiency (i.e., farm -specific outputoriented technical inefficiency). It is further assume d that the two error terms are independently distributed from each other.…”

-The aim of this paper is to investigate the relative contribution of technical efficiency, technological change and increased input use to the output growth of the Tunisian olive oil growing farms using a stochastic frontier production function approach applied to panel data for the period 1995 -1997. The proposed methodology is based on the use of a flexible translog functional form. Results indicate that technical efficiency of production in the sample of olive producing farms investigated ranges from a minimu m of 24.8% to a maximum of 84.6% with an average technical efficiency estimate of 48.5%. This suggests that olive producers may increase their production by as much as 51.5% through more efficient use of production inputs. Further, the production is characterised by decreasing returns to scale, which on average was 0.8.Finally, investigation of the sources of production growth reveals that the contribution of conventional inputs (labour, in particular) and technical change are found to be the main source of that growth, since total factor productivity increased during the study period, but at a slowing rate.
