A Model for Technical Inefficiency Effects in a Stochastic Frontier Production Function for Panel Data
A stochastic frontier production function is defined for panel data on firms, in which the non-negative technical inetGciency effects are assumed to be a function of firm-specific variables and time. The inefficiency effects are assumed to be independently distributed as truncations of normal distributions with constant variance, but with means which are a linear function of observable variable...
متن کاملstochastic frontier model with distributional assumptions for rice production technical efficiency
efficiency in agricultural production is indicative of the efficiency level of farm households in their farming activities. farmers in developing countries do not make use of all the potential technological resources, thus making inefficient decisions in their agricultural activities. herein, technical efficiency in relation with the production of three types of rice crop (boro, aus and aman) w...
متن کاملTechnical Efficiency of Teaching Hospitals in Iran: The Use of Stochastic Frontier Analysis, 1999–2011
Background Hospitals are highly resource-dependent settings, which spend a large proportion of healthcare financial resources. The analysis of hospital efficiency can provide insight into how scarce resources are used to create health values. This study examines the Technical Efficiency (TE) of 12 teaching hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) between 1999 and 2...
متن کاملMeasuring Technical Efficiency in the Stochastic Varying Coefficient Frontier Model
Due to the assumption that the best practice methods refer to each input separately instead of the whole set of inputs used by a firm, the benchmark technology as defined in the stochastic varying coefficient frontier model may be infeasible and theoretically improper whenever the maximum response coefficients are not coming from the same production unit. To overcome this problem we suggest an ...
متن کاملProperties of Technical Efficiency Estimators in the Stochastic Frontier Model
The estimation of frontier cost and production functions has been given impetus by the introduction of the stochastic frontier.’ This model is distinguished by a disturbance term composed of two parts a one-sided component, non-positive for production functions and non-negative for cost functions, representing the degree of inefficiency, and a symmetric component representing the usual statisti...
