The StoNED age : the departure into a new era of efficiency analysis? : a MC study comparing StoNED and the "Oldies" (SFA and DEA) conference paper
Andor, Mark Andreas; Hesse, Frederik - 2013
Based on the seminal paper of Farrell (1957), researchers have developed several methods for measuring e fficiency. Nowadays, the most prominent representatives are nonparametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) and parametric stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), both introduced in the late 1970s....
