Nitrate Pollution and Efficiency Measurement in Intensive Farming Systems: A Parametric By-Production Technology Approach

No 2101, Working Papers from University of Crete, Department of Economics

Abstract: This paper develops a novel empirical framework for estimating individual emission levels in a nonpoint source (NPS) pollution problem. For doing so we incorporate into the GME model suggested by Kaplan et al., (2003) a specific theoretical structure describing both crop production technology and nature's residual generating mechanism based on the multiple production relations model suggested by Murty et al, (2012) fitted into a parametric stochastic framework.
