A Ray-Homothetic Production Frontier and Efficiency: Grain Farms in Southern Illinois

  • Grabowski, Richard, et al

Abstract

A ray-homothetic production frontier is utilized to analyze the technical efficiency of a sample of Illinois grain farms. This functional form allows returns to scale to vary with both output and factor intensity. The results indicate that the farms were, on average, producing 82 percent of their potential output. Technical efficiency was found to be negatively related to farm size and the percent of operated land owned by the farmer. Coauthors are Steven Kraft, Carl Pasurka, and Hassan Y. Aly. Copyright 1990 by Oxford University Press.
