Bootstrap confidence intervals on fixed-effects efficiency estimates in micro panels exhibit low coverage probabilities …. We propose an alternative efficiency measure involving the mean of the firm effects. With the same estimated efficiency … ranks as the traditional measure, its corresponding bootstrap confidence intervals have better coverage probabilities. …

bayesian inference is still capable of contemplating the temporal dynamics of efficiency. The consideration of this point is … fundamental, because the studies done to evaluate the efficiency of the electric sector have neglected the fact that part of the … increase in efficiency of a utility comes from the gain of scale due to the expansion of the market, a process that happens …

In this paper we analyze the evolution of firm efficiency in the Czech Republic. Using a large panel of more than 190 …,000 Czech firm/years we study whether firms fully utilize their resources, how firm efficiency evolves over time, and how firm … efficiency is determined by ownership structure. We employ a panel version of a stochastic production frontier model for the …
