Recent advances in the panel stochastic frontier models : heterogeneity, endogeneity and dependence

Kumbhakar, Subal; Lai, Hung-Pin - In: International journal of empirical economics 1 (2022) 1, pp. 1-38

This paper primarily reviews the panel stochastic frontier (SF) model in which the composite error term εit has four components, i.e. εit=τi−ηi+vit−uit, where ηi and uit are the persistent and transient inefficiency components, τi is the random firm effect and vit is the random noise....

Persistent and Transient Inefficiency of Australian States and Territories in Providing Public Hospital Services: An Application of Bayesian Stochastic Finite Mixture Frontier Analysis

Andrews, Antony; Kimpton, Sean; Temoso, Omphile - 2021

Current literature on public hospital efficiency in Australia only reveals information on how efficient public hospitals are in the short run. The presence of persistent technical inefficiency arising from long-term systemic problems and government-related regulatory constraints does not appear...

The transient and persistent efficiency of Italian and German universities: A stochastic frontier analysis

Agasisti, Tommaso; Gralka, Sabine - 2017

Despite measures on the European level to increase the compatibility between the HE sectors of the member states, the recent literature exposes variations in their efficiencies. To gain insights into these differences we split the efficiency term according to the two management levels each...

A Comparison of Panel Data Models in Estimating Technical Efficiency

Rashidghalam, Masoomeh; Heshmati, Almas; Dashti, Ghader; … - 2016

The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, it compares the performance of various panel data models in estimating technical efficiency in production. Second, it applies various stochastic frontier panel data models to estimate the technical efficiency of Iran's cotton production and to...

Persistent inefficiency in the higher education sector: Evidence from Germany

Gralka, Sabine - 2016

that has only partially been answered. This paper argues that heterogeneity among universities as well as persistent … inefficiency hinder the institutions to achieve full efficiency - at least in the short run. Two standard and one novel … efficiency evaluation changes when both aspects are taken into account. It is the first time that the idea of persistent …
