The wrong skewness problem in stochastic frontier analysis: a review
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 signal from the data that th...

On asymmetry and quantile estimation of the stochastic frontier model
Quantile regression has become common in applied economic research. Recently, these methods have been adapted for use with the stochastic frontier model. However, the composed nature of the error term is ignor...

An alternative corrected ordinary least squares estimator for the stochastic frontier model
The corrected ordinary least squares (COLS) estimator of the stochastic frontier model exploits the higher order moments of the OLS residuals to estimate the parameters of the composed error. However, both “Ty...

Is newer always better? A reinvestigation of productivity dynamics using updated PWT data
Understanding the drivers of productivity remains one of the most sought after phenomena in economics. The ability to create produce more from less resources is undoubtedly appealing. Using recently updated Pe...

Chapter
Is it MOLS or COLS?
This paper assesses the terminology of modified and corrected ordinary least squares (MOLS/COLS) in efficiency analysis. These two approaches, while different, are often conflated. Beyond this several remarks ...

Recent Advances in the Construction of Nonparametric Stochastic Frontier Models
The growth of semi- and nonparametric methods to estimate the stochastic frontier model has expanded rapidly in the preceding years. This chapter provides a critical eye toward this burgeoning and important li...

Article
Investment Inefficiency and Corporate Social Responsibility
We demonstrate how earlier approaches to model the impact that corporate social responsibility (CSR) has on investment inefficiency are likely to be incorrect and propose use of the stochastic frontier methodo...

Overcapacity in Gulf of Mexico reef fish IFQ fisheries: 12 years after the adoption of IFQs
We study the impacts of individual fishing quota programs on overcapacity and the technical efficiency of the Gulf of Mexico red snapper and grouper-tilefish fisheries. We deploy generalized panel data stochas...

Density deconvolution with Laplace errors and unknown variance
We consider density deconvolution with zero-mean Laplace noise in the context of an error component regression model. We adapt the minimax deconvolution methods of Meister (2006) to allow estimation of the unknow...

Modeling dependence in two-tier stochastic frontier models
The two-tier stochastic frontier model has seen widespread application across a range of social science domains. It is particularly useful in examining bilateral exchanges where unobserved side-specific inform...
