Purpose: This study analyzes farm-level technical inefficiency of rice farming in Assam, India, using a multiple-output generalized stochastic frontier framework. Design/Methodology/Approach: Primary data for this study was collected in 2009-2010 from 310 farm-households in four non- contiguous districts of Dhubri, Morigaon, Dibrugarh, and Cachar that are located in different agro-climatic regions of Assam. Based on a Cobb-Douglas production function for multiple rice varieties, the paper simultaneously estimates the Generalized Stochastic Production Frontier and examines effects of exogenous factors on farm-level technical inefficiency. Findings: Results of this study show that the average technical inefficiency of farms is 8.5% in the sample. Further, inefficiency is lower in the frequently flood prone areas, and availability of government support helps reduce such inefficiency as well. However, technical efficiency is higher for the Muslim farm-households, and it decreases with greater land fragmentation. The study also finds that the use of primitive technology like bullock reduces technical effciency of rice farming. Originality/Value: This paper is based on a novel data set that has specially been collected to examine productivity and efficiency of rice cultivation in the flood plains of Assam that has not been studied before. Further, to the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first one to model rice production as a multiple-output stochastic production frontier and analyze technical efficiency of rice production accordingly.

水稻种植技术效率的广义随机生产前沿分析

目的:本研究使用多产出广义随机前沿框架分析印度阿萨姆邦水稻种植的农场水平技术效率低下。设计/方法/途径:本研究的主要数据是在 2009-2010 年从位于阿萨姆邦不同农业气候区的 Dhubri、Morigon、Dibrugarh 和 Cachar 四个非毗邻地区的 310 个农户收集的。本文基于多个水稻品种的 Cobb-Douglas 生产函数,同时估计广义随机生产前沿,并检验外生因素对农场层面技术无效率的影响。结果:本研究结果表明,样本中农场的平均技术低效率为 8.5%。此外,在经常发生洪水的地区,效率较低,政府支持的可用性也有助于减少这种低效率。然而,穆斯林农户的技术效率更高,并且随着土地分割的加剧而降低。该研究还发现,使用像牛这样的原始技术会降低水稻种植的技术效率。原创性/价值:本文基于一个新的数据集,该数据集是专门收集的,用于检查以前从未研究过的阿萨姆邦洪泛平原水稻种植的生产力和效率。此外,据我们所知,本文是第一个将水稻生产建模为多产出随机生产前沿并相应分析水稻生产技术效率的论文。它随着土地破碎化程度的增加而减少。该研究还发现,使用像牛这样的原始技术会降低水稻种植的技术效率。原创性/价值:本文基于一个新的数据集,该数据集是专门收集的,用于检查以前从未研究过的阿萨姆邦洪泛平原水稻种植的生产力和效率。此外,据我们所知,本文是第一个将水稻生产建模为多产出随机生产前沿并相应分析水稻生产技术效率的论文。它随着土地破碎化程度的增加而减少。该研究还发现,使用像牛这样的原始技术会降低水稻种植的技术效率。原创性/价值:本文基于一个新的数据集,该数据集是专门收集的,用于检查以前从未研究过的阿萨姆邦洪泛平原水稻种植的生产力和效率。此外,据我们所知,本文是第一个将水稻生产建模为多产出随机生产前沿并相应分析水稻生产技术效率的论文。本文基于一个新的数据集,该数据集是专门收集的,用于检查以前从未研究过的阿萨姆邦洪泛平原水稻种植的生产力和效率。此外,据我们所知,本文是第一个将水稻生产建模为多产出随机生产前沿并相应分析水稻生产技术效率的论文。本文基于一个新的数据集,该数据集是专门收集的,用于检查以前从未研究过的阿萨姆邦洪泛平原水稻种植的生产力和效率。此外,据我们所知,本文是第一个将水稻生产建模为多产出随机生产前沿并相应分析水稻生产技术效率的论文。
