英文文献摘要:
We develop measures of technical and allocative efficiency of producers in marketing certified organic products. A stochastic output distance frontier and the associated revenue share equations are estimated using comprehensive U.S. data on certified organic producers. Farm-level measures of technical efficiency are calculated and factors which enhance performance are identified. Factors that systematically influence allocative efficiency are assessed. The revenue mix of organic producers is systematically inefficient as both male and female producers rely too heavily on revenue from organic markets relative to conventional outlets.
我们制定措施的技术和配置效率的生产者在销售认证的有机产品。一个随机的产出距离边界和相关的收入份额方程被估计使用美国认证有机生产者的综合数据。计算了农业层面的技术效率措施,并确定了提高绩效的因素。对系统地影响配置效率的因素进行了评估。有机食品生产者的收入组合是系统低效的,因为男性和女性生产者都过于依赖有机市场的收入,而不是传统渠道。
