A Metafrontier Analysis on the Performance of Grain-Producing Regions in Norway
Alem, Habtamu (Journal article, 2021) -
Are diversification and structural change good policy? An empirical analysis of Norwegian agriculture
Alem, Habtamu; Lien, Gudbrand; Kumbhakar, Subal Chandra; Hardaker, J. Brian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We investigated whether diversification and/or structural change would improve Norwegian agriculture. Using a flexible technology approach to account for different technologies, we assessed economies of scope and scale of ... -
Coffee, child labour, and education: Examining a triple social–ecological trade-off in an Afromontane forest landscape
Ango, Tola Gemechu; Börjeson, Lowe; Wisborg, Poul; Senbeta, Feyera; Alem, Habtamu (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In biodiversity rich agriculture–forest moasic landscapes in south-western Ethiopia, the production of coffee and food crops, including guarding them from forest-dwelling mammals, requires a high input of labour, which is ... -
Dexi-Dairy indicator handbook - Sustainability tree and selected indicators for assessing European specialised dairy farms
Rodriguez, Divina Gracia P.; Flø, Bjørn Egil; Alem, Habtamu (Research report, 2022)The MilKey project aims at assessing the environmental, economic, and social sustainability of European dairy production systems, and at identifying ‘win-win’ farming practices for sustainable and greenhouse gas (GHG) ... -
DEXi-Dairy: an ex post multicriteria tool to assess the sustainability of dairy production systems in various European regions
Rodriguez, Divina Gracia P.; Alem, Habtamu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Growing awareness of global challenges and increasing pressures on the farming sector, including the urgent requirement to rapidly cut greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, emphasize the need for sustainable production, which ... -
Endogeneity, heterogeneity, and determinants of inefficiency in Norwegian crop-producing farms
Lien, Gudbrand; Kumbhakar, Subal Chandra; Alem, Habtamu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper addresses the endogeneity of inputs and output (which is mostly ignored in the stochastic frontier (SF) literature) in the SF panel data model under the behavioural assumption that firms maximize returns to the ... -
Regional differences in technical efficiency and technological gap of Norwegian dairy farms: a stochastic meta-frontier model
Alem, Habtamu; Lien, Gudbrand; Hardaker, J. Brian; Guttormsen, Atle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper compares technical efficiencies (TEs) and technological gap ratios (TGRs) for dairy farms in regions of Norway, accounting for differences in working environments. We used the state-of-the-art stochastic ... -
