Exact tests on returns to scale and comparisons of production frontiers in nonparametric models
Rønn-Nielsen, Anders; Kronborg, Dorte; Asmild, Mette - 2019
When benchmarking production units by non-parametric methods like data envelopment analysis (DEA), an assumption has to be made about the returns to scale of the underlying technology. Moreover, it is often also relevant to compare the frontiers across samples of producers. Until now, no exact...

Firm and Industry Level Profit Efficiency Analysis Under Incomplete Price Data : A Nonparametric Approach Based on Absolute and Uniform Shadow Prices
Kuosmanen, Timo - 2007
We discuss the nonparametric approach to profit efficiency analysis at the firm and industry levels in the absence of complete price information, and propose two new insights. First, choosing one commodity (whose price is known) as a numeraire good enables us to measure profit inefficiency in...

Stochastic Nonparametric Envelopment of Data : Cross-Sectional Frontier Estimation Subject to Shape Constraints
Kuosmanen, Timo; Kortelainen, Mika - 2007
The field of production frontier estimation is divided between the parametric Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and the deterministic, nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This paper explores an amalgam of DEA and SFA that melds a nonparametric frontier with a stochastic composite...
