Asymptotic Distribution of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator for a Stochastic Frontier Function
This article has investigated the asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator in a stochastic frontier function when the firms are all technically efficient. For such a situation, the true parameter vector is on the boundary of the parameter space, and the scores are linearly dependent. The maximum likelihood estimator is shown to be a mixture of certain truncated distributions....
متن کاملCombining DEA and stochastic frontier models: An empirical Bayes approach
The paper proposes to combine stochastic frontier models and linear programming methods by using DEA measures as priors of efficiency in the stochastic frontier model. These prior measures are revised to obtain posterior measures using Bayes theorem. Monte Carlo methods are developed to perform empirical Bayes inference in the new model. The methods are organized around Gibbs sampling with data...
متن کاملEmpirical likelihood analysis of the Buckley-James estimator.
The censored linear regression model, also referred to as the accelerated failure time (AFT) model when the logarithm of the survival time is used as the response variable, is widely seen as an alternative to the popular Cox model when the assumption of proportional hazards is questionable. Buckley and James [Linear regression with censored data, Biometrika 66 (1979) 429-436] extended the least...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation of Censored Stochastic Frontier Models
This paper takes issues with the appropriateness of applying the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) technique to account for environmental effects and statistical noise in the popular three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA). A correctly specified SFA model with a censored dependent variable and the associated maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) are proposed. The simulations show that the fi...
متن کاملSimulated Likelihood Estimation of the Normal-Gamma Stochastic Frontier Function
The normal-gamma stochastic frontier model was proposed in Greene (1990) and Beckers and Hammond (1987) as an extension of the normalexponential proposed in the original derivations of the stochastic frontier by Aigner, Lovell, and Schmidt (1977). The normal-gamma model has the virtue of providing a richer and more flexible parameterization of the inefficiency distribution in the stochastic fro...
