The technical efficiency of vacuum-pan sugar industry of India: an application of a stochastic frontier production function using panel data
Article Abstract:
The technical efficiency of Indian vacuum-pan sugar factories is examined using a stochastic production frontier method. The analysis is applied to 239 firms over the five crushing seasons 1980-1981 through 1984-1985. The objective of the study is to compare technical efficiency across firms and to give enlightenment on the conditions in the industry and in developing countries. There is a small degree of technical inefficiency in the vacuum-pan sugar industry.
