Model Selection in Stochastic Frontier Analysis with an Application to Maize Production in Kenya

Model Selection in Stochastic Frontier Analysis with an Application to Maize Production in Kenya

This paper shows how to compute the standard errors for partial effects of exogenous firm characteristics influencing firm inefficiency under a range of popular stochastic frontier model specifications. We also develop an R[superscript 2]-type measure to summarize the overall explanatory power of th...
