In this paper we consider parametric deterministic frontier models. For example, the production frontier may be linear … show that exact (finite sample) inference is possible when the frontier and the distribution of the one-sided error are …

efficient domestic firms are also contributing to the gap. Domestic firms closer to the frontier are not more likely to catch up … than firms farther from the frontier, although foreign firms do exhibit this behavior. The distance of Russian firms to the … efficiency frontier is much larger than that of Czech firms. Nevertheless, after nearly a decade of reforms, neither model of …
