Stochastic Frontier Analysis for Potatoes in Egypt and Spain تحلیل استوکاستک للبطاطس فی مصر وإسبانیا

Abstract

The study has focused on estimate the technical efficiency of potatoes production in Egypt and compares it with Spain during the time period 1995-2013. The study applies the stochastic frontier approach for efficiency measurement and the specification of Battese and Coelli (1992) is employed. The results indicate that the technical efficiency in Egypt and Spain makes clear improving during 1995-2013.
