We provide a review of the literature related to the “wrong skewness problem” in stochastic
frontier analysis. We identify two distinct approaches, one treating the phenomenon as a …

This paper introduces a new model of the stochastic production frontier that incorporates an
unobservable bound for inefficiency, which is naturally instituted by market competition …

We present a new, single-parameter distributional specification for the one-sided error
components in single-tier and two-tier stochastic frontier models. The distribution has its …

In this paper, we propose the analytical derivations of new specifications for the stochastic
frontier (SF) approach. In order to avoid some limitations of the traditional SF method, we …

Stationary point results on the normal–half-normal stochastic frontier model are generalized
using the theory of the Dirac delta, and distribution-free conditions are established to ensure …

Stochastic frontiers are a very popular tool used to compare production units in terms of
efficiency. The parameters of this class of models are usually estimated through the use of …

This study investigates technological spillovers of foreign direct investment (FDI) in
horizontal, upstream, and downstream industries on domestic manufacturing firms in …

The volume comprises 17 chapters that deal with productivity measurement, productivity
growth, dynamics of productivity change, measurement of labor productivity, measurement …
