Modeling Spatial Interaction in Stochastic Frontier Analysis [PDF]
We compare farm level efficiency rankings derived from non-spatial and a variety of spatial model specifications that account for unobserved heterogeneity in both the production and the efficiency sides of the stochastic frontier model in an empirical ...

Quantile Methods for Stochastic Frontier Analysis
Summary: Quantile regression has become one of the standard tools of econometrics. We examine its compatibility with the special goals of stochastic frontier analysis. We document several conflicts between quantile regression and stochastic frontier analysis.

Correcting for sample selection in stochastic frontier analysis: insights from rice farmers in Northern Ghana [PDF]
This study employs stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) correcting for sample selection bias, to determine technical efficiency (TE) and technology gap using cross-sectional data collected from 543 rice farmers in Northern Ghana.
