. This estimation has better goodness of fit, reduced variance of all coefficients, and higher efficiency scores for nearly … efficiency scores derived from stochastic frontier analysis. To correct for this heterogeneity in coefficients, I propose a … Bayesian estimation of a more flexible SFA with latent classes for selected parameters that reflect variation in technologies …

This paper implements both stochastic production and cost frontier analyses to estimate the efficiency of toll motorway … scale and density economies, showing that an increase in vehicle-kilometers is more important for cost efficiency than … extending the motorway. The differences between transient and persistent efficiency are significant, so that we can test for …
