摘要

目的本研究考察了获得信贷对埃塞俄比亚玉米生产小农户技术效率的影响，并探讨了决定信贷利用的因素。设计/方法/方法该研究依赖于2015/2016年收集的具有全国代表性的数据。通过将倾向得分匹配技术与随机前沿模型相结合来分析数据，该模型校正了由未观察到的变量引起的选择性偏差。结果表明，信贷服务提高了TE，并帮助小农户从使用的一组给定投入中实现尽可能高的产出水平。原创性/价值据作者所知，目前还没有研究通过控制观察到的和未观察到的异质性来衡量获得信贷对TE的影响。现有研究依赖于单一的生产前沿模型，假设信用用户和非用户具有相似的生产特征，或者由于可观察和不可观察的特征而忽略了选择偏差。

The impact of credit on the technical efficiency of food crop producing smallholder farmers in Ethiopia

PurposeThis study examines the impact of access to credit on the technical efficiency (TE) of maize-producing smallholder farmers in Ethiopia and explores factors determining credit utilization.Design/methodology/approachThe study relies on nationally representative data collected in 2015/2016. The data are analyzed by combining the Propensity Score Matching technique with a stochastic frontier model that corrects selectivity bias arising from unobserved variables.FindingsThe result shows that credit service improves TE and helps smallholder farmers to achieve the maximum possible output level from a given set of inputs used.Originality/valueTo the best of author’s knowledge, no study has yet measured the impact of access to credit on TE by controlling for both observed and unobserved heterogeneities. Existing research relied on a single production frontier model, assuming that credit users and non-users have similar production characteristics or ignored selection bias due to observable and unobservable characteristics.
