英文文献摘要：
This paper explores the role of management ability in explaining efficiency on New York dairy farms. Using an unbalanced panel of farm data from 1993 through 2004, we estimate input and output-oriented technical efficiencies, cost efficiencies and revenue efficiencies using stochastic frontier functions. We include various input variables as efficiency effects and find lagged net farm income is a preferred measure of management ability over farmers' own estimates of the value of their labor and management. We also find increasing efficiency with operator education, farm size, and extended participation in a farm management program and decreasing efficiency with operator age.

本文探讨了管理能力在解释纽约奶牛场效率中的作用。利用1993年至2004年的不平衡农场数据面板，我们利用随机前沿函数估计了以投入和产出为导向的技术效率、成本效率和收入效率。我们将各种输入变量作为效率效应，并发现滞后的农场净收入是管理能力的首选衡量标准，而不是农民自己对其劳动和管理价值的估计。我们还发现，随着经营者教育程度、农场规模和农场管理项目的扩大，效率不断提高，而随着经营者年龄的增加，效率则不断降低。
