This study estimates cost efficiency under a quantile regression framework. Our purpose is to investigate whether cost … efficiency differs across quantiles of the conditional distribution. Efficiency scores are derived using the distribution …-free approach. Results show that for higher conditional distributions, efficiency scores are lower. In a second stage analysis, we …
