Inference in stochastic frontier analysis with dependent error terms
Stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) is often used to estimate technical efficiency of entities such as firms, countries or municipalities. A potential dependence between the two components of the error term can be taken into account by a copula function. While estimation of the model is straightforward using the Corrected Ordinary Least Squares (COLS) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) methods, an open...
متن کاملStochastic Non-Parametric Frontier Analysis
In this paper we develop an approach that synthesizes the best features of the two main methods in the estimation of production efficiency. Specically, our approach first allows for statistical noise, similar to Stochastic frontier analysis, and second, it allows modeling multiple-inputs-multiple-outputs technologies without imposing parametric assumptions on production relationship, similar to...
متن کاملSemiparametric Bayesian Inference for Stochastic Frontier Models
In this paper we propose a semiparametric Bayesian framework for the analysis of stochastic frontiers and efficiency measurement. The distribution of inefficiencies is modelled nonparametrically through a Dirichlet process prior. We suggest prior distributions and implement a Bayesian analysis through an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler, which allows us to deal with practically releva...
متن کاملA double-copula stochastic frontier model with dependent error components and correction for sample selection
In the standard stochastic frontier model with sample selection, the two components of the error term are assumed to be independent, and the joint distribution of the unobservable in the selection equation and the symmetric error term in the stochastic frontier equation is assumed to be bivariate normal. In this paper, we relax these assumptions by using two copula functions to model the depend...
