Bayesian stochastic frontier analysis using WinBUGS [PDF]
Journal of Productivity Analysis, 2007 Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have become a ubiquitous tool in Bayesian analysis. This paper implements MCMC methods for Bayesian analysis of stochastic frontier models using the WinBUGS package, a freely available software. General code for cross-sectional and panel data are presented and various ways of summarizing posterior inference are ...

Integrating spatial dependence into Stochastic Frontier Analysis [PDF]
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2012 An approach to incorporate spatial dependence into stochastic frontier analysis is developed and applied to a sample of 215 dairy farms in England and Wales. A number of alternative specifications for the spatial weight matrix are used to analyse the effect of these on the estimation of spatial dependence.

Stochastic FDH/DEA estimators for frontier analysis [PDF]
Journal of Productivity Analysis, 2010 In this paper we extend the work of Simar (J Product Ananl 28:183–201, 2007) introducing noise in nonparametric frontier models. We develop an approach that synthesizes the best features of the two main methods in the estimation of production efficiency.
