Aggregate Matching Efficiency : A Stochastic Production Frontier Approach, France 1990-1994 [PDF]
We evaluate the determinants of aggregate matching efficiency changes through a stochastic Cobb-Douglas production frontier model. The efficiency coefficient is represented by a stochastic function of variables meant to capture workers and firms ...

Accounting for unobservables in production models:management and inefficiency [PDF]
This paper explores the role of unobserved managerial ability in production and its relationship with technical efficiency. Previous analyses of managerial ability have been based on strong assumptions about its role in production or on the use of ...

Sensitivity analysis of efficiency rankings to distributional assumptions: applications to Japanese water utilities [PDF]
This paper examines the robustness of efficiency score rankings across four distributional assumptions for trans-log stochastic production-frontier models, using data from 1,221 Japanese water utilities (for 2004 and 2005).

Financial Efficiency and the Ownership of Czech Firms [PDF]
In this paper we analyze the evolution of firm financial efficiency in the Czech Republic. Using a large panel of more than 400,000 Czech firm/years we study whether firms fully utilize their resources, how firm financial efficiency evolves over time ...

Technology shape, distance to frontier, or frontier shift? Modeling the determinants of TFP growth [PDF]
We investigate the determinants of TFP growth of Italian manufacturing firms. Using stochastic frontier techniques, we consider three approaches to take into account the influence of external factors, i.e., the determinants of growth.
