前沿生产函数的模拟方法与农业应用探讨

Studies on the Estimating Methods of Frontier Production Functions and Their Agricultural Application

论述了前沿生产函数的概念，并探讨了应用线性规划法、二次规划法和最大概似估计法模拟的原理和方法，应用泰国清迈盆地水稻、大豆、马铃薯、番茄和大蒜５种作物的实际数据模拟表明，前沿生产函数可用于研究某一地区的农业生产潜力．

The concept of frontier production function and the principles and steps by using linear programming,quadratic programming and maximum likelihood estimation to get the frontier functions are presented.Actualdata of five crops(rice,soybean,potato,tomato and garlic)from Chiang Mai Valley,Thailand,are used toconstruct real frontier models.Results show that frontier production function may be used to study an area'sproduction potentials.
