No 292793, Staff Papers from University of Kentucky, Department of Agricultural Economics

Abstract: The relative technical and economic efficiency for small and large rice-peanut farm size classes in Northeast Thailand are compared. A theoretical model is developed and empirically tested with equal prices for inputs and products. Small farms, while more labor intensive, attain higher levels of both technical and economic efficiencies.
