The StoNED Age : The Departure into a New Era of Efficiency Analysis? – A Monte Carlo Comparison of StoNED and the 'Oldies' (SFA and DEA)
Andor, Mark - 2013
Based on the seminal paper of Farrell (1957), researchers have developed several methods for measuring effi ciency. Nowadays, the most prominent representatives are nonparametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) and parametric stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), both introduced in the late 1970s....
