生产过程两阶段半参数模型的估计与推断AI 解读

A plethora of papers have used multi-stage estimation procedures where nonparametric estimates of productive efficiency are obtained in the first stage and then regressed on environmental variables in a subsequent stage in attempts to account for exogenous factors that might affect firms’ performance. None of these papers have described a coherent data-generating process (DGP). Moreover, conventional approaches to inference employed in these papers are invalid due to…

观测误差下的变点、边界与前沿估计AI 解读

A range of problems in economics and statistics involve calculation of the boundary, or frontier, of the support of a distribution. Several practical and attractive solutions exist if the sampled distribution has a sharp discontinuity at the frontier, but accuracy can be greatly diminished if the data are observed with error. Indeed, if the error is additive and has variance σ2 then inaccuracies are usually of order σ, for small σ. In this article we suggest an elementary…

非参数前沿估计：一种稳健方法AI 解读

A large amount of literature has been developed on how to specify and to estimate production frontiers or cost functions. Two different approaches have been mainly developed: the deterministic frontier model which relies on the assumption that all the observations are on a unique side of the frontier, and the stochastic frontier models where observational errors or random noise allows some observations to be outside of the frontier. In a deterministic frontier framework,…

单调凹前沿函数的估计AI 解读

Abstract When analyzing the productivity of firms, one may want to compare how the firms transform a set of inputs x (typically labor, energy or capital) into an output y (typically a quantity of goods produced). The economic efficiency of a firm is then defined in terms of its ability to operate close to or on the production frontier, the boundary of the production set. The frontier function gives the maximal level of output attainable by a firm for a given combination of…

生产效率得分的非参数 DEA 估计量收敛性札记AI 解读

Efficiency scores of production units are measured by their distance to an estimated production frontier. Nonparametric data envelopment analysis estimators are based on a finite sample of observed production units, and radial distances are considered. We investigate the consistency and the speed of convergence of these estimated efficiency scores (or of the radial distances) in the very general setup of a multi-output and multi-input case. It is shown that the speed of…
