afs-5953	Kuosmanen, Timo; Kuosmanen, Natalia	Role of benchmark technology in sustainable value analysis An application to Finnish dairy farms	2009	15	.pdf	application/pdf	10910	593	55	Build- ing an explicit link between SV method and the frontier approach to environmental performance assessment,2 Kuosmanen and Kuosmanen pro- pose to use a more general benchmark technology, which can be estimated from empirical data using established econometric methods such as stochas- tic frontier analysis (SFA) or data envelopment analysis (DEA) (see e.g. Fried et al. 2007 for an up-to-date review of these methods). Nonparametric methods do not assume a particular functional form, but es- timate the benchmark technology based on some minimal set of axioms.	cache/afs-5953.pdf	txt/afs-5953.txt
