Thanks rewt and tudor, i was actually given the topic by my supervisor, and i needed some level of understanding before going to meet him. But i think i have some degree of understanding of the topic now. After going through some literature, i think i'll be looking at the effect of famers' management strategy on their supply, with the help of a translog profit function. At least that's the basic idea i have for now.

Hello, am Fomenky, an MSc student in Agricultural Economics at the University of Buea, Cameroon. Am working on the "economics of pig meat production: An application of translog profit function to assess supply and farmers' management strategy". I will like to know if profit efficiency should be included in my work, and what are my dependent and independent variables. I will really appreciate the help, thanks.
