A Laplace stochastic frontier model [PDF]
We propose a Laplace stochastic frontier model as an alternative to the traditional model with normal errors. An interesting feature of the Laplace model is that the distribution of inefficiency conditional on the composed error is constant for positive values of the composed error, but varies for negative values.

Stochastic Frontier Models [PDF]
The stochastic frontier model was first proposed in the context of production function estimation to account for the effect of technical inefficiency. The inefficiency causes actual output to fall below the potential level (that is, the production frontier) and also raises production cost above the minimum level (that is, the cost frontier).

A Bayesian approach to estimation, prediction and model comparison in composed error production models is presented. A broad range of distributions on the inefficiency term define the contending models, which can either be treated separately or pooled. Posterior results are derived for the individual efficiencies as well as for the parameters, and the ...

Modeling Spatial Interaction in Stochastic Frontier Analysis
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 ...

Technical indicators of economic performance in dairy sheep farming
In this study, the level of technical efficiency of 58 sheep farms rearing the Chios breed in Greece was measured through the application of the stochastic frontier analysis method.

The car manufacturing industry, one of the largest energy consuming industries, has been making a considerable effort to improve its energy intensity by implementing energy efficiency programs, in many cases supported by government research or financial ...

Essays on Stochastic Frontier Models
This thesis consists of three independent chapters. The first chapter “Bayesian Inference in Dynamic Panel Stochastic Frontier Models” proposes a new stochastic frontier model which accounts for the intertemporal production behaviour. The conceptualization is based on the notion that firms face production adjustment costs in the short run due to the ...
