生产内部及环境因素对技术效率的影响研究

城市资源利用水平的高低很大程度上取决于对生产内部因素和环境因素的利用,通过理论分析,又利用辽宁省经济发展指标计算得知,劳动者结构、科教投入水平与三废治理指标都对技术效率起着积极的促进作用。

辽宁省资源利用效率影响因素实证分析

代表辽宁省资源利用效率的技术效率指标,受生产内部因素、制度因素和环境因素的共同制约。本文通过建立具有一般性的随机前沿模型,计算得知:劳动者结构、科教投入水平与三废治理指标、进口比重、出口比重、外商投资比重与辽宁省资源利用水平正向相关,起到促进的作用;国有及国有控股经济、存款比重、贷款比重与辽宁省资源利用水平负向相关,起到阻碍作用。

Effect of Social Capital on Performance of Smallholder Farmer Organizations in Western Kenya

Development literature has recently promoted the use of producer organizations in linking farmers to better-paying commodity markets. However, empirical studies find mixed performance of such organizations. This study examines the producer organizations＇ internal factors that may explain the differences in the performance of producer organizations. The study specifically analyzes the role of social capital, within a producer organization, on the performance of such organization using quantitative techniques. The level of commercialization is used as proxy of organization＇s performance. The study finds that social capital positively affects the performance of producer organizations. These findings imply that development strategies that target the promotion commercialization of smallholder agriculture through producer organizations should pay attention to the internal factors within such organizations.
