Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a nonparametric mathematical programming approach to productive efficiency analysis, envelops all observed data. In this paper we show that DEA can be interpreted as nonparametric least squares regression subject to shape constraints on frontier and sign...

When analyzing what determines the efficiency of production, regressing efficiency scores estimated by DEA on explanatory variables has much intuitive appeal. Simar and Wilson (2007) show that this nai͏̈ve two-stage estimation procedure suffers from severe flaws, that render its results, and...
