We do so by performing a bootstrap-based analysis of group efficiencies (weighted and non-weighted), estimating and comparing densities of efficiency distributions, and conducting a bootstrapped truncated regression analysis. We fin

The estimator is a modification of the .-frontier, which necessitates the computation of a consistent estimator of the conditional survival function of the input variable

Composites for Marine Applications,l production literature and in the complementary literature on productive efficiency. We point out why panel data are needed to measure productive efficiency and innovation and thus link the two strands of literatures. We provide a discussion on the various estimators used in the two literatures, fo

Econ. 21:169–179, 1977), researchers have often found that the residuals estimated from these models displayed skewness in the wrong direction. In such cases applied researchers were faced with two main a

The requirement of under-smoothing may result, as we show, from inefficient estimation methods or technical difficulties. Xia et al. (J. Roy. Statist. Soc. B. 64:363–410, 2002) proposed an adaptive method for the multiple-index model, called MAVE. In this chapter
