The study assesses the how information sharing by means of mobile phones affects banking system efficiency in Africa … banking system efficiency. The following findings are established: (i) mobile phone penetration promotes banking system … efficiency in the 25th quantile and the median of banking system efficiency in low income countries while for middle income …

This paper reviews recent developments in nonparametric identi.cation of mea- surement error models and their applications in applied microeconomics, in particular, in empirical industrial organization and labor economics. Measurement error models describe mappings from a latent distribution to...

This paper proposes a stochastic frontier panel data model in which unit-specific inefficiencies are spatially correlated. In particular, this model has simultaneously three important features: i) the total inefficiency of a productive unit depends on its own inefficiency and on the inefficiency...

Typically, the error term in stochastic frontier models is assumed to be positively skewed; however, efficiency scores … all model parameters and efficiency scores can be estimated consistently regardless of positive or negative inefficiency …
