The Productivity Debate of East Asia Revisited: A Stochastic Frontier Approach [PDF]
This paper applies a stochastic frontier production model to the data from Penn World Table’s 49 countries over the period 1965-1990, to decompose total factor productivity growth into technical change and technical efficiency change.

Technical inefficiency and public capital in US States: A stochastic frontier approach [PDF]
This paper estimates a translog stochastic frontier production function in the analysis of all 48 contiguous U.S. states in the period 1970-1983, to attempt to measure and explain changes in technical efficiency.

ASSESSING THE LOUISIANA SHRIMP FISHING FLEET TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY USING A BAYESIAN STOCHASTIC COST FRONTIER MODEL [PDF]
A Bayesian stochastic cost frontier analyzed the shrimp fleet of Louisiana. A translog cost function was estimated. 269 vessels were included and sub-grouped by length (60ft), and net type (trawl, skimmer, and butterfly).

Posterior analysis of stochastic frontier models using Gibbs sampling [PDF]
, 1992 In this paper we describe the use of Gibbs sampling methods for making posterior inferences in stochastic frontier models with composed error. We show how the Gibbs sampler can greatly reduce the computational difficulties involved in analyzing such ...

Privatization, Soft Budget Constraint, and Social Burdens: A Random-Effects Stochastic Frontier Analysis on Chinese Manufacturing Technical Efficiency [PDF]
Traditional panel stochastic frontier studies on privatization of Chinese State-owned firms face a major challenge, namely, the endogeneity problem. The endogeneity problem is present because decision-making process of privatization in China is very ...
