Analyzing Differences in Rural Hospital Efficiency: A Data Envelopment Analysis Approach

Nedelea, I. Cristian; Fannin, James Matthew; Barnes, … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2010

This study analyzes difference in efficiency among the U.S. rural hospitals using a two-stage, semi-parametric approach. Data Envelopment Analysis is used in the first stage to calculate cost, technical and allocative efficiencies of Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) and non-CAH rural hospitals....

Estimation and Inference for Threshold Effects in Panel Data Stochastic Frontier Models

Yelou, Clement; Larue, Bruno; Tran, Kien C. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2007

One of the most enduring problems in cross-section or panel data models is heterogeneity among individual observations. Different approaches have been proposed to deal with this issue, but threshold regression models offer intuitively appealing econometric methods to account for heterogeneity....

Estimating the Costs of Revenue Deficiency Programs

Cooper, Joseph C. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2007

This paper develops an approach to empirically demonstrate how the within-season distribution of U.S. domestic commodity support for corn differs between current-style approaches of support and revenue-based support. From a purely economic standpoint, the results show the revenue-based payment...
