abstract = {A detailed decomposition of the sources of the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth
index within an output distance function framework was carried out, looking at the
following components: technical change, change in technical efficiency, scale component,
and violations of the profit maximizing assumption for inputs and outputs. Stochastic
translog output distance functions were estimated by using panel data from dairy farms
over the period 1991- 1994 for three European regions (northern Germany, the
Netherlands, Poland) separately and for all regions together. The decomposition results
were then examined , and a detailed comparison of the separate and the common model
was made.},
