Panel data stochastic frontier model with determinants of persistent and transient inefficiency

European Journal of Operational Research, 2018
Abstract In this paper we consider a stochastic frontier panel data model in which the random firm-effects are separated from the persistent and transient technical inefficiency. The model is extended to accommodate factors that can explain both persistent and transient technical inefficiency. We derive formulas to estimate both types of inefficiency

The flow of information through social networks: diagonal-free measures of inefficiency and the structural determinants of inefficiency

Social Networks, 1994
Abstract The aim of this paper is to (1) propose specific diagonal-free measures of the inefficiency of information flow through social networks and (2) present an analysis of the structural determinants of inefficiency. We employ a formal model of collective action developed by Coleman (1973, 1990); link it to the Markov model of interpersonal ...

Impacts of social determinants on the transient and persistent inefficiency of health systems in OECD countries

Health Policy
This study examines the impact of social determinants on the transient and persistent technical inefficiency of health systems in OECD countries between 2010 and 2020. To estimate inefficiency, panel efficiency models-True Random Effects (TRE) and Generalised True Random Effects (GTRE) models-are employed.

The determination of ventilatory inefficiency at rest in COPD: the expected parameter

European Respiratory Journal, 2020
The assessment of V′E/V′CO2 ratio at rest as a representation of ventilatory inefficiency is a simple and relevant determination in the evaluation of lung function in patients with COPD, additive to parameters of lung hyperinflation on physical limitationhttps://bit.ly ...

Nonparametric estimation of the determinants of inefficiency

Journal of Productivity Analysis, 2016
We consider the benchmark stochastic frontier model where inefficiency is directly influenced by observable determinants. In this setting, we estimate the stochastic frontier and the conditional mean of inefficiency without imposing any distributional assumptions. To do so we cast this model in the partly linear regression framework for the conditional
