Productivity and efficiency estimation : a semiparametric stochastic cost frontier approach (2015)
Journal Article
Sun, K., Kumbhakar, S., & Tveterås, R. (2015). Productivity and efficiency estimation : a semiparametric stochastic cost frontier approach. European Journal of Operational Research, 245(1), 194-202. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2015.03.003

This paper proposes a flexible stochastic cost frontier panel data model where the technology parameters are unknown smooth functions of firm- and time-effects, which non-neutrally shift the cost frontier. The model decomposes inefficiency into firm... Read More about Productivity and efficiency estimation : a semiparametric stochastic cost frontier approach.
