Derivation of marginal effects of determinants of technical inefficiency

Kumbhakar, Subal C.; Sun, Kai - In: Economics Letters 120 (2013) 2, pp. 249-253

In efficiency studies using the stochastic frontier approach, the main focus is to explain inefficiency in terms of some exogenous variables and computation of marginal effects of each of these determinants. Although inefficiency is estimated by its mean conditional on the composed error term...
