生产无效率通常由三个组成部分来分析：技术效率、配置效率和规模效率。在这项研究中，我们提供了一个直接衡量孟加拉国稻农的生产效率，使用随机利润边界和无效率效应模型。这些数据是1996年的，包括影响孟加拉国三个农业生态区21个村庄现代或高产水稻品种生产的7种常规投入和其他几个背景因素。结果表明，现代水稻栽培中存在很高的无效率水平。利润效率的平均水平为77%，这表明估计有23%的利润是由于现代水稻生产的技术，配置和规模效率相结合而损失的。效率差异主要是由基础设施、土壤肥力、经验、推广服务、租赁和非农业收入份额造成的。
Production inefficiency is usually analyzed by its three components—technical, allocative, and scale efficiency. In this study, we provide a direct measure of production efficiency of the Bangladeshi rice farmers using a stochastic profit frontier and inefficiency effects model. The data, which are for 1996, include seven conventional inputs and several other background factors affecting production of modern or high yielding varieties (HYVs) of rice spread across 21 villages in three agro-ecological regions of Bangladesh. The results show that there are high levels of inefficiency in modern rice cultivation. The mean level of profit efficiency is 77% suggesting that an estimated 23% of the profit is lost due to a combination of technical, allocative and scale inefficiency in modern rice production. The efficiency differences are explained largely by infrastructure, soil fertility, experience, extension services, tenancy and share of non-agricultural income.
