THE ROLE OF NON-PARAMETRIC APPROACH IN ADJUSTING PRODUCTIVITY MEASURES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

This paper addresses the role of non-parametric analysis in adjusting agricultural productivity measures for environmental impacts. The modified Tornquist-Theil index computed using shadow prices derived from the programming procedures is compared and contrasted with a non-parametric hyperbolic graph productivity index for the case of Nebraska agriculture.
