Modelling Technical Efficiency in Cross Sectionally Dependent Stochastic Fron...
This paper proposes a unified framework for accommodating both time and cross-sectional dependence in modelling technical efficiency in stochastic frontier models by combining... -
FIRM HETEROGENEITY, PERSISTENT AND TRANSIENT TECHNICAL INEFFICIENCY: A GENERA...
This paper considers a panel data stochastic frontier model that disentangles unobserved firm effects (firm heterogeneity) from persistent (time-invariant/long-term) and... -
Efficiency and productivity of the US banking industry, 1998-2005: evidence f...
This paper provides estimates of bank efficiency and productivity in the United States, over the period from 1998 to 2005, using (for the first time) the globally flexible... -
Identifying technically efficient fishing vessels: a non-empty, minimal subse...
Stochastic frontier models are often employed to estimate fishing vessel technical efficiency. Under certain assumptions, these models yield efficiency measures that are means... -
Inference in dynamic stochastic frontier models (replication data)
An important issue in models of technical efficiency measurement concerns the temporal behaviour of inefficiency. Consideration of dynamic models is necessary but inference in... -
Inefficiency and heterogeneity in Turkish banking: 1990-2000 (replication data)
Recent studies have stressed the importance of privatization and openness to foreign competition for bank efficiency and economic growth. We study bank efficiency in Turkey, an... -
The role of environmental factors in growth accounting (replication data)
This paper explores a relatively new methodology, the directional distance function method, to analyse productivity growth. The method allows us to explicitly evaluate the role... -
Stochastic frontier models with random coefficients (replication data)
The paper proposes a stochastic frontier model with random coefficients to separate technical inefficiency from technological differences across firms, and free the frontier... -
Separability test for the electricity supply industry (replication data)
This paper examines the vertical integration issue of the electricity industry. This industry is typically vertically integrated and heavily regulated. The paper investigates...
