Using data on 4,340 Chinese farm households in 2002, we estimate a stochastic production frontier which allows for not only different production technology between male-managed and female-managed households but also heteroskedastic technical inefficiency. The estimation result shows that female-managed households have 17% lower production frontier (predicted maximum output), whereas they have 6% higher technical efficiency than male-managed households, implying that they have 11% lower productivity. Their lower production frontier might reflect lower quality of male labor and more use of traditional inputs in crop production, while their higher technical efficiency might reflect their strong dependence on traditional production technology.}, pages = {27--42}, title = {Do Female-Managed Households Have Lower Productivity? : A Stochastic Frontier Analysis for Chinese Farm Households}, volume = {67}, year = {2020} }
