含内生解释变量的时变真实个体效应模型AI 解读

We propose a fairly general individual effects stochastic frontier model, which allows both heterogeneity and inefficiency to change over time. Moreover, our model handles the endogeneity problems if either at least one of the regressors or one-sided error term is correlated with the two-sided error term. Our Monte Carlo experiments show that our estimator performs well. We employed our methodology to the US banking data and found a negative relationship between return on…

利用类Copula近似进行后验重要性抽样AI 解读

We provide generic approximations to k-dimensional posterior distributions through an importance sampling strategy. The importance function is a product of k univariate of Student-t densities and a k-dimensional beta-Liouville density truncated on the hypercube. The parameters of the densities and the number of components in the mixtures are adaptively optimised along the Monte Carlo sampling. For challenging high dimensional latent Gaussian models we propose a nested…

含不良投入与产出的生产效率推断：潜在价格与最优方向AI 解读

Researchers employ the directional distance function (DDF) to estimate multiple-input and multiple-output production, firm inefficiency, and productivity growth. We relax restrictive assumptions by computing optimal directions subject to profit maximization and cost minimization, correct for the potential endogeneity of inputs and outputs, estimate latent prices for bad outputs, measure firms’ responses to shadow prices rather than actual prices, and introduce an unobserved…

效率估计的“何时、何地与如何”：随机前沿建模的改进程序AI 解读

The issues of functional form, distributions of the error components, and endogeneity are for the most part still open in stochastic frontier models. The same is true when it comes to imposition of restrictions of monotonicity and curvature, making efficiency estimation an elusive goal. In this article, we attempt to consider these problems simultaneously and offer practical solutions to the problems raised by Stone and addressed by Badunenko, Henderson and Kumbhakar. We…

含非期望产出的随机方向性技术距离函数：成本系统方法与美国银行应用AI 解读

Summary This paper offers a methodology to address the endogeneity of inputs in the directional technology distance function (DTDF)‐based formulation of banking technology which explicitly accommodates the presence of undesirable nonperforming loans—an inherent characteristic of the bank's production due to its exposure to credit risk. Specifically, we model nonperforming loans as an undesirable output in the bank's production process. Since the stochastic DTDF describing…

方向距离函数：最优内生方向AI 解读

A substantial literature has dealt with the problem of estimating multiple-input and multiple-output production functions, where inputs and outputs can be good and bad. Numerous studies can be found in the areas of productivity analysis, industrial organization, labor economics, and health economics. While many papers have estimated the more restrictive output- and input-oriented distance functions, here we estimate a more general directional distance function. A seminal…
