The Distribution and Heterogeneity of Technical Efficiency within Industries: An Empirical Assessment
Fritsch, Michael; Stephan, Andreas - 2004
This paper analyzes the distribution of technical efficiency within manufacturing industries. Using a representative sample of 35,000 firms in 255 industries of the German cost structure census, technical efficiencies are estimated by applying a deterministic frontier production function with...

Allocative Efficiency Measurement Revisited: Do We Really Need Input Prices?
Badunenko, Oleg; Fritsch, Michael; Stephan, Andreas - 2006
The traditional approach to measuring allocative efficiency is based on input prices, which are rarely known at the firm level. This paper proposes a new approach to measure allocative efficiency which is based on the output-oriented distance to the frontier in a profit – technical efficiency...

What determines the efficiency of regional innovation systems?
Fritsch, Michael; Slavtchev, Viktor - 2007
We assess the efficiency of regional innovation systems (RIS) in Germany by means of a knowledge production function. This function relates private sector research and development (R&D) activity in a region to the number of inventions that have been registered by residents of that region....

Industry specialization, diversity and the efficiency of regional innovation systems
Fritsch, Michael; Slavtchev, Viktor - 2007
Innovation processes are characterized by a pronounced division of labor between actors. Two types of externality may arise from such interactions. On the one hand, a close location of actors affiliated to the same industry may stimulate innovation (MAR externalities). On the other hand, new...

Spatial Stochastic Frontier Models
Lavado, Rouselle F.; Barrios, Erniel B. - 2010
The stochastic frontier model with heterogeneous technical efficiency explained by exogenous variables is augmented with a sparse spatial autoregressive component for a cross-section data, and a spatial-temporal component for a panel data. An estimation procedure that takes advantage of the...
