Fixed-Effect Estimation of Technical Efficiency with Time-Invariant Dummies
“Within” estimation of the fixed-effect stochastic frontier model does not identify parameters on time-invariant explanatory variables. If time-invariant variables are important production inputs, then standard efficiency estimates are biased. This note details bias correction, when time-invariant inputs are dummy variables. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملAssessing technical inefficiency of bus transit with adjustment of accidents
In the light of occasional involvement of traffic accidents and of seldom costless to dispose such undesirable accidents, conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods, which assume that traffic accidents are freely disposable in bus transit efficiency measurement, may not be appropriate. To rectify this shortcoming, this paper attempts to construct directional output distance function m...
متن کاملA Post-Truncation Parameterization of Truncated Normal Technical Inefficiency
In this paper we consider a stochastic frontier model in which the distribution of technical inefficiency is truncated normal. In standard notation, technical inefficiency u is distributed as , . This distribution is affected by some environmental variables z that may or may not affect the level of the frontier but that do affect the shortfall of output from the frontier. We will distinguish th...
متن کاملA 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 کاملEstimation of Runoff using Modified SCS Models
In recent decades, due to the importance of watershed management programs and the need for adequate information and correct estimation of rainfall and runoff, many conceptual models have been proposed. These models have parameters that must be estimated according to observational data. However, finding the optimal values for the parameters of simulation models has always faced uncertainty. One ...
