An Analysis of Energy Use Efficiency in China by Applying Stochastic Frontier Panel Data Models

Technical 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...

Alternative Panel Data Estimators for Stochastic Frontier Models

Received analyses based on stochastic frontier modeling with panel data have relied primarily on results from traditional linear fixed and random effects models. This paper examines several extensions of these models that employ nonlinear techniques. The fixed effects model is extended to the stochastic frontier model using results that specifically employ the nonlinear specification. Based on ...
