| Abstract: | Parametric frontier approach to measurement efficiency has been
extensively used in applied research. Within this conceptual framework,
techniques for econometric frontier analysis will be described. The purpose of
this paper is to present an overview of parametric frontier methods related to
the measurement of economic efficiency, focusing on both deterministic and
stochastic perspective. Further, the development and extension of the cross-
sectional and the panel data context associated to the issue of the specification
of functional forms are also revisited. |
