Effects of inefficiency on marginal costs, degree of economies of scale and technical change : a theoretical relationship

Díaz-Hernández, Juan José; Martínez-Budría, Eduardo; … - In: Revista de métodos cuantitativos para la economía y … 29 (2020), pp. 190-207

In this paper, a theoretical relationship is obtained to measure the effect that inefficiency has on marginal costs, degree of economies of scale and technical change. It is shown that when the relationship between inefficiency and output level is ignored, the estimation of marginal costs and...

Productivity Growth Decomposition Using a Spatial Autoregressive Frontier Model

Glass, Anthony - 2013

A new spatial decomposition of TFP growth into direct (own) and indirect (spillover) components is set out. We then apply the decomposition in the context of a spatial autoregressive production frontier analysis of 40 European countries over the period 1995-2008
