This paper examines the impact of technical efficiency on the optimal exit timing of farms in a stochastic dynamic framework. Starting from a standard real options approach, we incorporate technical efficiency via a production function and derive an optimal price trigger at which farms...

The existing literature on dynamic efficiency is deterministic and ignores uncertainty when deriving dynamic efficiency … measures, even though it is known that uncertainty affects the optimal adjustment path and the optimal use of quasi … optimal investment under uncertainty jointly into consideration. We apply this model to German farm-level panel data to …

This … is particularly true for the optimal adjustment of the firm’s capital stock. While uncertainty has been considered in the … hypotheses on how uncertainty affects the measurement of efficiency. The factor demand equations, which we derive, may serve as a …

We analyze the speed of mean reversion (k) in the convenience yield and the spot price volatility for 7 US commodities between 1989-2012. In the hog market k is large, soybeans exhibit the lowest values. While for 5 of 7 commodities κ is lower in the more recent period (2005-2012) than in the...
