EFFICIENCY, PRODUCTIVITY AND OUTPUT GROWTH: AN INTER-REGIONAL ANALYSIS OF GREEK AGRICULTURE

Abstract

Output growth decomposition of the Greek olive-oil sector under technical and allocative inefficiencies, economies of scale and technical change, is performed. The stochastic production frontier model is extended to panel data and FGLS estimation. Conventional inputs are main source of growth: TFP increased in slow rate during the study period.Crop Production/Industries, Industrial Organization,
