The available Scopus record reports 9 documents, 43 citations, and an h-index of 4, providing a bibliometric basis for describing his research activity.[1]
Keywords
Statistics; agricultural economics; stochastic frontier analysis; panel data; farm efficiency; financial sustainability; wine industry; sustainability; resilience; sustainable development.
Introduction
Prigoreanu’s research is situated at the intersection of statistics, agriculture, economics, and sustainability. His recent scholarly output illustrates the use of quantitative and review-based methods to examine the performance and transformation of agricultural systems. The September 2026 article on farm efficiency applies stochastic frontier analysis and panel-data regression to investigate technical efficiency and financial sustainability, while a June 2026 study reviews environmental practices and marketing dynamics in the wine industry.[2][3]
Research Profile
The profile combines bibliometric activity with research focused on measurable agricultural and sustainability outcomes. The reported Scopus record identifies 9 documents, 43 citations, and an h-index of 4. His institutional affiliation is the “Ion Ionescu de la Brad” Iasi University of Life Sciences in Romania, and his stated subject area is Statistics.[1]
Research Contributions
The documented publications indicate several connected areas of contribution:
- Application of stochastic frontier analysis and panel-data regression to agricultural efficiency and financial sustainability.
- Systematic examination of environmental practices and marketing dynamics within the wine industry.
- Consideration of leadership and resilience within sustainable development perspectives.
