Knowledge about production technologies and producer behavior is important for politicians, business organizations, government administrations, financial institutions, and other national and international organizations that desire to know how contemplated policies and market conditions can affect production, prices, income, and resource utilization in agriculture as well as in other industries. The same knowledge is relevant for comparing firms with other firms and the “best practice”, e.g., for consulting farms or other firms or for regulating sectors with natural monopolies (e.g., electricity distribution, water supply, wastewater treatment). The participants of this course will obtain relevant competences in microeconomic production theory and applied econometric production analysis so that they can contribute to the knowledge about production technologies and producer behaviour. After having completed my courses in the field of econometric production analysis, the participants should be able to:

use econometric production analysis and efficiency analysis to analyze various real-world questions,
interpret the results of econometric production analyses and efficiency analyses,
choose a relevant approach for econometric production and efficiency analysis, and
critically evaluate the appropriateness of a specific econometric production analysis or efficiency analysis for analyzing a specific real-world question.

These lecture notes focus on practical applications of econometrics and microeconomic production theory. Hence, they complement textbooks in microeconomic production theory (rather than substituting them).
