Testing the "separability" condition in two-stage nonparametric models of production
Daraio, Cinzia; Simar, Léopold; Wilson, Paul W. - 2015
Simar and Wilson (J. Econometrics, 2007) provided a statistical model that can rationalize two-stage estimation of technical efficiency in nonparametric settings. Two-stage estimation has been widely used, but requires a strong assumption: the second-stage environmental variables cannot affect...
