Modelling Technical Efficiency in Cross Sectionally Dependent Stochastic Frontier Panels
具有截面依赖的随机前沿面板中的技术效率建模
Summary This paper proposes a unified framework for accommodating both time and cross‐sectional dependence in modelling technical efficiency in stochastic frontier models by combining the exogenously driven factor‐based approach and an endogenous threshold efficiency regime selection mechanism. This approach is able to deal with both weak and strong cross‐sectional dependence in a flexible manner. Using a dataset of 26 OECD countries over 1970–2010, we provide satisfactory…
