Abstract:There are several problems with using the Standard Stochastic Frontier (SF) model to produce a company’s technical efficiencies. One of the problem is the hypothesis of independence between the error components, known as, statistical noise and inefficiency term. Recent studies have used the SFA-copula model where the copula element captures the joint distribution of the two error components thus assuming that the errors are dependent. This research seeks to use the Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Frontier production m… Show more
