Abstract

With a view to integration into the European Union, the efficiency and competitiveness of the Kosovo’ different sectors (including agriculture) must be improved. This paper assesses the technical efficiency (TE) of horticultural farms through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) applying output orientation. It was founded that the TE of these farms is positively affected by their size, with large-size farms presenting overall higher technical efficiency. The research findings indicate that the degree of agricultural education does not have a significant impact on TE, whereas public assistance through subsidies and grants has a substantial and negative impact on TE, as confirmed by statistical analysis.

科索沃园艺农业技术效率建模:数据包络分析的应用

为了加入欧洲联盟，必须提高科索沃不同部门(包括农业)的效率和竞争力。本文采用产出导向的数据包络分析(DEA)对园艺农场的技术效率进行了评价。研究发现，这些农场的技术效率与规模呈正相关，规模大的农场整体技术效率更高。研究结果表明，农业教育程度对TE没有显著影响，而通过补贴和补助的公共援助对TE有实质性的负面影响，统计分析证实了这一点。

期刊介绍： The journal Bio-based and Applied Economics (BAE) provides a forum for presentation and discussion of applied research in the field of bio-based sectors and related policies, informing evidence-based decision-making and policy-making. It intends to provide a scholarly source of theoretical and applied studies while remaining widely accessible for non-researchers. BAE seeks applied contributions on the economics of bio-based industries, such as agriculture, forestry, fishery and food, dealing with any related disciplines, such as resource and environmental economics, consumer studies, regional economics, innovation and development economics. Beside well-established fields of research related to these sectors, BAE aims in particular to explore cross-sectoral, recent and emerging themes characterizing the integrated management of biological resources, bio-based industries and sustainable development of rural areas. A special attention is also paid to the linkages between local and international dimensions.
