“…Finally, researchers can also benefit from evaluation of agricultural efficiency (Dirner and Pavelek, 2016). They can use previous studies to study gradual evolution in methods applied for efficiency measurement, which may help them identify the gap in the research field (Kočišová, 2015;Reiff et al, 2016).…”

The main aim of this study is to examine the relative efficiency of agriculture in the European Union using Data Envelopment Analysis for the period 2005-2015. We have examined the relative efficiency using non-radial and non-oriented slacks-based model (SBM) under the assumption of a variable return to scale. We have looked for causes of inefficiency and have come up with the recommendations how to change input and output variable to reach the efficiency frontier. The results show that, on average, the European Union agricultural sector has been performing efficiently, and its development could be considered as stable. After taking into account the size of the economies in form of gross domestic product in market prices, we can say, that the efficiency was positively affected mainly by the development in large countries. By examining the optimal values for the variables used in the SBM model, it has been found that on average for the movement on the efficiency frontier it is necessary to reduce both inputs (labour and utilised agricultural area) and simultaneously increase both outputs (animal and crop production).

“…Objects are moved from one cluster to another until the configuration of clusters which meets the preset optimization criterion (usually, it is the minimization of the so-called clustering squared errors) is obtained. The optimization algorithm is completed when the expected number of iterations has been reached or if no objects have been moved between clusters in a given phase (MACQUEEN 1967;ALDENDERFER, BLASHFIELD 1984;EVERITT et al 2011;PANEK, ZWIERZCHOWSKI 2013;JAWORSKA, MODRANKA 2014;TVARONAVICIENE et al, 2015;REIFF et al, 2016).…”

The main aim of this paper is to identify differences between Polish communes as regards their revenues from property taxes. To this end, we distinguished and described types of communes with similar configurations of features under analysis (incomes from real property tax, agricultural tax and forest tax). In the research procedure, we applied methods of multidimensional analysis, with particular emphasis on cluster analysis. The research was conducted on the basis of aggregated (to eliminate random fluctuations) values of income from properties in the years 2013-2015. On the basis of typological classification, we distinguished six clusters (groups) of communes of different quantitative characteristics of budget revenues from property taxes. We identified specific regularities in the distribution of the distinguished commune types.

“…Nevertheless, organic farming became one of the fastest growing segments of agriculture in the United States of America and European Union (EU). Integrated farming, using a combination of organic and conventional techniques, has been successfully adopted on a wide scale in Europe (Reiff et al, 2016). Comparative analysis carried out by Reganold et al (2001) on sustainability of organic, conventional and integrated apple production systems gave similar apple yields and showed that organic and integrated practices had higher soil quality and potentially lower negative environmental impact than the conventional farming practice.…”
