Technical efficiency for a sample of Chilean wine grape producers: A stochastic production frontier analysis

Chile has become an increasingly important player in international wine markets. Concurrent with the expansion of Chilean wine output and exports, there has been an increase in production in several other "New World" countries including Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. T...
