Increasing dairy farm productivity while simultaneously mitigating greenhouse gases
emissions is a common policy goal in many countries. In this paper, we assess trade-offs …

Our objective is to extend the latent class stochastic frontier (LCSFM) model to compute
productivity change, using the robust transitive productivity Färe‐Primont index. The …

This paper applies alternative panel data models to a cross‐sectional dataset that contains
observations at the plot level for a sample of wine‐grape farms in Central Chile. The input …

CONTEXT Heat exposure, particularly when co-occurring with extreme humidity levels, is
amongst the most pronounced and challenging extreme weather conditions in European …

New Zealand is one of many higher latitude countries where extreme heat is perceived to be
a less consequential impact of climate change, by virtue of its relatively cool climate …

Maritime transport is a sector particularly affected by climatic conditions. Once a ship is in the
port, ship manoeuvres and port operations can be hindered by the weather conditions …

This paper evaluates the technical efficiency of smallholder dairy farmers assisted by a
climate resilience programme in the Brazilian semi-arid region. We use stochastic frontier …

Context Understanding how multiple factors interact in complex systems is an important
issue. In particular, agricultural production systems are based on biological and ecological …

Health and reproductive conditions affect milk yields in dairy cows and may lead to
differences in technical efficiency across farms. To investigate this, we created a novel panel …

Deforestation and global climate change are predicted to affect precipitation and agricultural
productivity in the Amazon. Anecdotal evidence suggests that farmers are already being …
