I intend to establish the linkage between the food security status of farmers and their Production efficiency. I will like to create a econometric approach based on theoretical and empirical link. i will appreciate any ideas on this.
Dear Mr. Kayode,
First of all, you should choose which production function is suitable in case South west Nigeria for example Cobb Douglas, CES, etc., then assuming that farmers is rice net producer and net consumer. After estimate the model you can check properties of production function such as technical rate of efficient etc. Good luck.
thanks for your reply i'm using Cobb douglas, i am hoping to use an econometric impact matching (Propensity Score Matching) procedure in order to infer how a non food secure rice farmer would be efficient if he was food secure as adapted by this two journals
