Journal Article
Kumbhakar, S., & Sun, K. (2012). Estimation of TFP growth : a semiparametric smooth coefficient approach. Empirical Economics, 43(1), 1-24. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00181-011-0468-x

This article uses a semiparametric smooth coefficient model (SPSCM) to estimate TFP growth and its components (scale and technical change). The SPSCM is derived from a nonparametric specification of the production technology represented by an input d...
