Abstract
GOMES, Eliane Gonçalves; SOARES DE MELLO, João Carlos Correia Baptista and MANGABEIRA, João Alfredo de Carvalho. Partial productivity ordinal aggregation: a case study with family farmers. Inv. Op. [online]. 2007, vol.27, n.2, pp.199-213. ISSN 0874-5161.
Productivity is the most usual indicator to measure agricultural performance. In this paper, instead of using the usual TFP, econometric or DEA models, we propose a multicriteria approach (Copeland method) to evaluate land and labor productivity measurements jointly. We evaluated the performance evolution of a group of family farmers from Machadinho dOeste, State of Rondonia, Brazil. The study is centered in each farmer, in its individual characteristics, in order to verify the success and the evolution of each farmer.
Keywords : Productivity; multicriteria; Copeland method; family farmers.
