Agricultural efficiency within each technology category was calculated. Cross-category efficiency measures were developed and combined with own-category measures to develop a technical difference index. Results indicate convergence of efficiency within both categories but divergence of efficiency between the two categories.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/20009}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.20009}, }
