Descripción
This paper uses stochastic frontier production function to estimates the technical efficiency of rice production in South Korea. Data from eight provinces have been taken between 1993 and 2012. The purpose of this study is to realize whether the agricultural policy made by the Korean government achieved a high technical efficiency in rice production and also to figure out the variables that could decrease a technical inefficiency in rice production. The study showed there is a possibility to increase the efficiency of production. The effect of location on the production efficiency is significant.
