Abstract

This paper devotes to find out and to measure the household technical efficiency by the two selected farming patterns in Cho Moi District, AnGiangProvince. Along with this, the author tries to make some conclusions from findings more valuable by computation of economies in scale from which we can infer whether scale efficiency existed or not. Moreover, the conclusions are also corroborated through the sampling method for data and hypothesis testing such as randomly sampling method and One-sided generalized likelihood ratio test (LR), respectively. For the cross-sectional data obtained for the 2004/05 agricultural year, Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier input distance functions (SFIDF) are found to be adequate representations of data. The empirical results indicate that farmers with continuous rice pattern are more technically efficient than farmers with crop rotation pattern.
Keywords: technical efficiency
