| Abstract: | The paper provides one of the first applications of the double bootstrap procedure (Simar and Wilson 2007) in a two-stage estimation of the effect of environmental variables on non-parametric estimates of technical efficiency.
This procedure enables consistent inference within models explaining efficiency scores, while simultaneously producing standard
errors and confidence intervals for these efficiency scores. The application is to 88 livestock and 256 crop farms in the
Czech Republic, split into individual and corporate.
