      abstract = {There is a continuously growing literature on the  agricultural transformation in Central and Eastern European  countries (see some surveys in Brooks and Nash 2002;  Rozelle and Swinnen 2004). The research has
focused on  various aspects of transition, including land reform, farm  restructuring, price and trade liberalisation, but even  though Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) data are now  available for some years, there are only a few studies  (e.g. Bakucs et al. 2010, Fogarasi and Latruffe, 2007,  Baráth et al., 2009) focusing on Hungarian farm  performance. The objective of this paper is to shed light  on some methodological issues that are needed to study  Hungarian farm performance. Here we consider one aspect of  farm performance, namely technical efficiency. This measure  refers to whether farmers are capable of using existing  technology to its full potential by producing the most  possible from a given set of production factor quantities.},
