Farrell efficiency measure and the frontier production function. The extension is in the aspect of providing a measure for comparing productive efficiency differential between two groups of firms existing in the same competitive industry. To test the efficiency differential, we proposed the Mann-Whitney Test Statistic. As an illustration of the proposed measure, we used data from three Malaysian agricultural processing industries, that is, rice milling, rubber remilling and oilpalm processing. In the exercise, we estimated and test the technical efficiency differential between private and public firms in each industry and found that in rice milling and rubber remilling, private firms are technically more efficiency than their public counterpart. In oilpalm processing, the two groups of firms are equally efficient (or equally inefficient). 000208093 650__ $$aResearch Methods/Statistical Methods 000208093 700__ $$aJusoh, Mansor 000208093 700__ $$aJaafar, Hamid 000208093 773__ $$q27$$o43$$tBangladesh Journal of Agricultural Economics$$j12$$k01$$d1989 000208093 8564_ $$9bdf39325-d31a-421e-8e06-f6c330d3a13f$$s15223708$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/208093/files/Article_02%20Vol-XII_1.pdf 000208093 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/208093 000208093 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:208093$$pGLOBAL_SET 000208093 912__ $$nSubmitted by Sidhartha Sankar Biswas (bsertbau15@gmail.com) on 2015-08-25T06:52:27Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Article_02 Vol-XII_1.pdf: 15223708 bytes, checksum: f5f683276a68d0c19be2a7d0582cebbb (MD5) 000208093 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2015-08-25T06:52:27Z (GMT).
