A Comment on Weak Disposability in Nonparametric Production Analysis

Rolf Färe and Shawna Grosskopf

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2009, vol. 91, issue 2, pages 535-538

Abstract: In his 2005 paper in this journal, Kuosmanen argues that Shephard's specification of weak disposability in activity analysis (DEA) models is not correct. We show that Shephard's specification does satisfy weak disposability and is the "smallest" technology to do so. Copyright Copyright 2009 Agricultural and Applied Economics Association.
