Opis produktu
Subal C. Kumbhakar is a distinguished research professor at the State University of New York Binghamton. He specializes in productivity and efficiency analysis with particular emphasis on the theory and application of stochastic frontier (SF) models. He has developed numerous SF models for both crosssectional and panel models in a singleequation setup as well as in a setup with simultaneous equations. He is coeditor of Empirical Economics and guest editor of special issues of the Journal of Econometrics Empirical Economics the Journal of Productivity Analysis and the Indian Economic Review. He is associate editor and editorial board member of Technological Forecasting and Social Change: An International Journal the Journal of Productivity Analysis the International Journal of Business and Economics and Macroeconomics and Finance in Emerging Market Economies. He is also the coauthor of Stochastic Frontier Analysis (Cambridge 2000).This book provides practitioners with a stepbystep guide on how to conduct efficiency analysis using the stochastic frontier approach.A Practitioners Guide to Stochastic Frontier Analysis Using Stata provides practitioners with a stepbystep guide on how to conduct efficiency analysis using the stochastic frontier approach.

The authors explain in detail how to estimate production cost and profit efficiency and introduce the basic theory of each model in an accessible way using empirical examples that demonstrate the interpretation and application of models. This book also provides computer code allowing users to apply the models in their own work and incorporates the most recent stochastic frontier models developed in academic literature. Such recent developments include models of heteroscedasticity and exogenous determinants of inefficiency scaling models panel models with timevarying inefficiency growth models and panel models that separate firm effects and persistent and transient inefficiency. Immensely helpful to applied researchers this book bridges the chasm between theory and practice expanding the range of applications in which production frontier analysis may be implemented.1.
