Binary endogenous treatment in stochastic frontier models with an application to soil conservation in El Salvador
随机前沿模型中的内生二元处理：萨尔瓦多土壤保护应用
Summary Numerous programs exist to promote productivity, alleviate poverty, and enhance food security in developing countries. Stochastic frontier analysis can be helpful to assess their effectiveness. However, challenges can arise when accounting for treatment endogeneity, often intrinsic to these interventions. We study maximum likelihood estimation of stochastic frontier models when both the frontier and inefficiency depend on a potentially endogenous binary treatment. We…
