Introducing environmental variables in nonparametric frontier models: A probabilistic approach
This paper proposes a general formulation of a nonparametric frontier model introducing external environmental factors that might influence the production process but are neither inputs nor outputs under the control of the producer. A representation is proposed in terms of a probabilistic model which defines the data generating process. Our approach extends the basic ideas from Cazals, Florens ...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Approach for Assessing the Significance of Contextual Variables in Nonparametric Frontier Models: An Application to Brazilian Banks*
This article presents an empirical banking application illustrating the use of a nonparametric frontier model relying on a probabilistic definition of the production frontier. It investigates the statistical significance of nonperforming loans in productive efficiency for a sample of Brazilian banks using the concepts of conditional and unconditional efficiency measures in a context where it is...
متن کاملIntroducing of Dirichlet process prior in the Nonparametric Bayesian models frame work
Statistical models are utilized to learn about the mechanism that the data are generating from it. Often it is assumed that the random variables y_i,i=1,…,n ,are samples from the probability distribution F which is belong to a parametric distributions class. However, in practice, a parametric model may be inappropriate to describe the data. In this settings, the parametric assumption could be r...
متن کاملStatistical Approaches for Nonparametric Frontier Models: A Guided Tour
A rich theory of production and analysis of productive efficiency has developed since pioneering work by Tjalling Koopmans and George Debreu in the 1950s. Michael J. Farrell published the first empirical study, and it appeared in a statistical journal (JRSS ), even though the paper provided no statistical theory. The literature in econometrics, management sciences, operations research and mathe...
متن کاملConditional nonparametric frontier models for convex and non convex technologies: A unifying approach
The explanation of productivity differentials is very important to identify the economic conditions that create inefficiency and to improve managerial performance. In literature two main approaches have been developed: one-stage approaches and twostage approaches. Daraio and Simar (2003) propose a full nonparametric methodology based on conditional FDH and conditional order-m frontiers without ...
