.We propose a simple way to adaptively choose the sample size m during the MCMC to optimize sampling efficiency for a fixed …

efficiency scores derived from stochastic frontier analysis. To correct for this heterogeneity in coefficients, I propose a …. This estimation has better goodness of fit, reduced variance of all coefficients, and higher efficiency scores for nearly …

This paper shows evidence on the influence of risk-taking on bank efficiency in emerging markets and identifies … inefficiency parameters to a sample of Colombian banks. The model provides accurate cost and profit efficiency estimates. The … effects of risk-taking on efficiency vary with size and affiliation. Large and foreign banks benefit more from higher exposure …

To do this, we have designed a stochastic … frontier model to measure revenue efficiency as a function of various different inputs such as total staff or number of rooms … proportion of hotels in the chain with three stars or fewer, into the efficiency term of the stochastic frontier model. Our …
