Estimating fixed-effect panel stochastic frontier models by model transformation [PDF]

Traditional panel stochastic frontier models do not distinguish between unobserved individual heterogeneity and inefficiency. They thus force all time-invariant individual heterogeneity into the estimated inefficiency. Greene (2005) proposes a true fixed-

An Application of Stochastic Frontier Gravity Approach (The Case of Iran's Potential Agricultural Exports)

International Journal of Analysis and Applications, 2020
Agriculture plays a crucial role in Iranian economy in terms of food supply, job creation, food security, and foreign earnings. The main purpose of this study is to provide an estimate of the country's agricultural exports potential and to determine how ...

Bayesian Stochastic Frontier Analysis Using WinBUGS [PDF]

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.

A stochastic production frontier model with a translog specification using the generalized maximum entropy estimator [PDF]

In this paper, an empirical application of the generalized maximum entropy estimator in a stochastic production frontier model with a translog specification is discussed to investigate technical efficiency in a wine region of Portugal.

Access to finance and intra-Africa trade efficiency

Journal of Shipping and Trade
This paper examines the impact of access to finance on intra-Africa trade efficiency using a panel dataset comprising 44 African exporters. Between 2008 and 2021, a stochastic frontier version of the gravity model finds intra-Africa trade to have been ...

Accounting for Pairwise Heterogeneity in Bilateral Trade Flows: A Stochastic Varying Coefficient Gravity Model [PDF]

This paper suggests an alternative way for estimating the gravity equation that takes into consideration country-pair heterogeneity in bilateral trade flows. Specifically, a stochastic varying coefficient gravity model based on Hildreth and Houck’s (1968)

Which free trade agreements improve export efficiency? Evidence from a stochastic frontier gravity analysis of China’s export

Cogent Economics & Finance
Against the backdrop of the continued expansion of regional trade agreements worldwide, although China has signed numerous free trade agreements (FTAs), systematic empirical evidence on how different FTAs affect export efficiency remains limited. Using a

PRODUCTION RISK REVISITED IN A STOCHASTIC FRONTIER FRAMEWORK: EVALUATING NOISE AND INEFFICIENCY IN COVER CROP SYSTEMS [PDF]

This paper investigates both risk and technical inefficiency in a general stochastic frontier framework that is consistent with the Just-Pope framework.
