Recent Developments in Frontier Modelling and Efficiency Measurement
TL;DR: In this article, the potential applicability of frontier methods in agricultural economics is discussed, along with the construction of technical, allocative, scale and overall efficiency measures relative to these estimated frontiers.

Extreme weather events risk to crop-production and the adaptation of innovative management strategies to mitigate the risk: A retrospective survey of rural Punjab, Pakistan
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of 1232 wheat growers from Pakistan, conducted in April and May of 2019, was used to estimate the production risk of wheat farms to weather shocks and the effectiveness of physical, non-physical, and innovative management strategies for reducing crop damages.

Understanding cognitive and socio-psychological factors determining farmers’ intentions to use improved grassland: Implications of land use policy for sustainable pasture production
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the theory of planned behavior to determine farmers' cognitive and socio-psychological behavior to use improved grassland and found that a favorable attitude was found to use improving grassland, which is emerged from beliefs.

How land transfer affects agricultural land use efficiency: Evidence from China’s agricultural sector
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used the global data envelopment method to establish indicators to evaluate the agricultural land efficiency, and uses the PSM method to construct a counterfactual framework to analyze the impact of the land transfer on agricultural land efficiencies.

Significant Acidification in Major Chinese Croplands
J.H. Guo,Xuejun Liu,Y. Zhang,Jianlin Shen,Wenxuan Han,W.F. Zhang,Peter Christie,Keith Goulding,Peter M. Vitousek,Fusuo Zhang +9 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of a regional acidification phenomenon in Chinese arable soils that is largely associated with higher N fertilization and higher crop production is presented, likely to threaten the sustainability of agriculture and affect the biogeochemical cycles of nutrients and also toxic elements in soils.

Estimation of average treatment effects based on propensity scores
Sascha O. Becker,Andrea Ichino +1 more
TL;DR: The authors give a short overview of some propensity score matching estimators suggested in the evaluation literature, and provide a set of Stata programs, which they illustrate using the Naïve Bayes algorithm.

Nonlinear temperature effects indicate severe damages to U.S. crop yields under climate change
TL;DR: Yields increase with temperature but that temperatures above these thresholds are very harmful, suggesting limited historical adaptation of seed varieties or management practices to warmer temperatures because the cross-section includes farmers' adaptations to warmer climates and the time-series does not.

Variance stabilization applied to microarray data calibration and to the quantification of differential expression.
TL;DR: A statistical model for microarray gene expression data that comprises data calibration, the quantifying of differential expression, and the quantification of measurement error is introduced, and a difference statistic Deltah whose variance is approximately constant along the whole intensity range is derived.
