A random parameter model is used to analyse inter- and intra-sectoral heterogeneity of farms. The empirical results confirmed that it is important to handle both inter- and intra-sectoral heterogeneity. Additionally the estimations based on propensity score matching (PSM) demonstrated that farms in less favoured areas (LFAs) are slightly technically less efficient than farms in non-LFAs. However, combined PSM and difference in difference estimator cast serious doubts that LFA farms are less efficient in terms of TE. Both groups of farms are able to adopt technologies to natural and other conditions for their operation. 000229061 546__ $$aEnglish 000229061 650__ $$aAgricultural and Food Policy 000229061 650__ $$aFarm Management 000229061 6531_ $$atechnical efficiency 000229061 6531_ $$atype of farming 000229061 6531_ $$aless favoured areas 000229061 6531_ $$arandom parameter model 000229061 6531_ $$apropensity score matching difference in differences 000229061 700__ $$aBarath, Lajos 000229061 700__ $$aFerto, Imre 000229061 700__ $$aBojnec, Stefan 000229061 773__ $$d2015 000229061 8564_ $$90565ecf8-9bb2-40f1-9049-155c62bff40d$$s649756$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/229061/files/Barath_Ferto_Bojnec_f.pdf 000229061 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/229061 000229061 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:229061$$pGLOBAL_SET 000229061 912__ $$nSubmitted by Allison Hasslen (hassl020@umn.edu) on 2015-12-15T17:06:11Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Barath_Ferto_Bojnec_f.pdf: 649756 bytes, checksum: 259af56331700401955c986309a079c0 (MD5) 000229061 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2015-12-15T17:06:12Z (GMT).
