We formulate a general representation of points z 2 <n

We consider a Bayesian analysis of the stochastic frontier model with composed error.Under a commonly used class of (partly) noninformative prior distributions, the existence of the posterior distribution and of posterior moments is examined.Viewing this model as a Normal linear regression model...

This paper uses Bayesian stochastic frontier methods to measure the productivity gap between Poland and Western countries that existed before the beginning of the main Polish economic reform. Using data for 20 Western economies, Poland and Yugoslavia (1980-1990) we estimate a translog stochastic...

In this paper we describe the use of modern numerical integration methods for making posterior inferences in composed error stochastic frontier models for panel data or individual cross-sections.Two Monte Carlo methods have been used in practical applications.We survey these two methods in some...
