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 ...

Stochastic frontier models: a bayesian perspective
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 ...

Econometric Approach to Company’s Production Potential Assessing Taking into Account Human Capital
In furtherance of the production potential model of the company in which the notion of stochastic frontier is used the authors have developed an econometric model for assessing human capital (a major component of intellectual capital).
