The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of technical and economic variables on the indices of technical efficiency of milk from Minas Gerais throughout distinct points of distribution of the efficiency indices by the technique of quantile regression. The technical efficiency indices were estimated based on a stochastic frontier model, using data from 875 milk producers in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, collected in 2005. The main results from production frontier showed the extensive use of the land […]
