This chapter revises the literature on discrete output stochastic frontier models. We suggest an encompassing framework within which to develop new models of production frontier when the output variable is discrete-valued. We discuss specific applications of the framework. In particular, the...

This paper provides a new simple and computationally tractable method for determining an identified set that can account for a broad set of economic models when economic variables are discrete. Using this method it is shown on a simple example how can imperfect instruments affect the size of the...
