Environmental Efficiency Measurement with Translog Distance Functions: A Parametric Approach [PDF]

We use a flexible parametric hyperbolic distance function to estimate environmental efficiency when some outputs are undesirable. Cuesta and Zofio (J. Prod.

Measuring Trade and Trade Potential : A Survey [PDF]

This paper provides a survey and a brief critical review of the literature on the widely used gravity models of trade, as a prelude to the justification of its use with the stochastic frontier methodology.

Estimation of semiparametric stochastic frontiers under shape constraints with application to pollution generating technologies [PDF]

A number of studies have explored the semi- and nonparametric estimation of stochastic frontier models by using kernel regression or other nonparametric smoothing techniques. In contrast to popular deterministic nonparametric estimators, these approaches

Estimating Production Risk and Inefficiency Simultaneously: An Application to Cotton Cropping Systems [PDF]

By using a stochastic frontier framework, the mutual effect of input use on production risk and inefficiency is investigated. Disentangling this mutual effect proves important for empirical reasons, at least when applied to west Tennessee cotton systems ...

Technical Efficiency of Some Selected Manufacturing Industries in Bangladesh: A Stochastic Frontier Analysis

Lahore Journal of Economics
This paper investigates the technical efficiency of selected manufacturing industries of Bangladesh using a stochastic frontier production function approach suggested by Battese and Coelli (1992) applied to panel data. A feasible Cobb-Douglas stochastic

Estimation of technical efficiency of broiler production in Peninsular Malaysia: A stochastic frontier analysis

Journal of Business Management and Accounting, 2012
This study analyzed the technical efficiency of poultry production in Peninsular Malaysia using the stochastic frontier production function analysis. Time series data were collected for this purpose. The frontier function involved variables such as farm,

Stochastic Frontier Models With Correlated Error Components [PDF]

In the productivity modelling literature, the disturbances U (representing technical inefficiency) and V (representing noise) of the composite error W=V-U of the stochastic frontier model are assumed to be independent random variables.

Effects of Foreign Direct Investment on Firm-level Technical Efficiency: Stochastic Frontier Model Evidence from Chinese Manufacturing Firms [PDF]

, 2016
It has been recognized that multinational corporations can spill over to non-affiliated firms in host economies. Existing studies of foreign direct investment (FDI) and productivity growth often assume firms are perfectly efficient.
