1. Assessing the Eco-efficiency of Swedish Crop Farms and the Role of Subsidies : a Directional Distance Function Approach
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EconomicsSammanfattning : The agriculture sector’s contribution to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and its increasing vulnerability to the effects of climate change warrants assessments considering not only on-farm productivity but also the industry’s environmental sustainability. Utilizing the concept of eco-efficiency, this study analyzes the environmental performance of Swedish crop farms by incorporating farm-level GHG emissions as an undesirable output in the production function.

2. Eco-efficiency, Institutions, and Political Orientation : A case study of the European Union
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/NationalekonomiSammanfattning : This thesis uses the stochastic frontier analysis to estimate efficiency scores for the 28 member countries of the European Union between 2000 and 2019. The material footprints of biomass, non-metallic minerals, metals and fossil fuels are taken as input goods, unlike comparable work, as the overuse of materials is the cause of our current environmental problems.

3. Sources of TFP Growth in Indian Manufacturing Sector: A Frontier Approach
Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenSammanfattning : Traditionally, Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth, interpreted as growth due to technological advancement, is considered as the main source of long-term economic growth as other factors of input i.e. labor and capital are subjected to diminishing returns.

4. Cost Efficiency and Foreign Ownership in the U.S.: Stochastic Frontier Analysis
D-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomiSammanfattning : This study examines bank cost efficiency in the U.S. for the period 2008-2013. The main purpose is to investigate if foreign banks in the U. LÄS MER
5. Analyzing firm performance in a glass industry: a non-parametric frontier approach
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionenSammanfattning : A non-parametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) method is applied in this study in order for calculating the technical and scale efficiency of a glass factory by means of a production frontier, despite the common trend among contemporary literatures to use stochastic parametric methods and ‘estimate’ the frontier production function. The available aggregated structure of the firm data paved the way for the authors to rethink and adopt a mathematical (linear programming) approach which would make it possible to conduct the study with a limited number of observations and without the detailed form of the production function.
