Lab Session 3 Heterogeneity
Heterogeneous Frontier Command FRONTIER [; COST] ; LHS = the variable ; RHS = ONE, the variables, the additional variables ; EFF = the new variable $ ε(i) = v(i) +/- u(i)
Heterogeneous Frontier Model FRONTIER ; LHS = LDALE ; RHS = ONE,LHEXP,LHEXP2,LEDUC, VOICE,GEFF,LPOPDEN,TROPICS ; EFF = UI_WHO $
Effects of Environmental Variable on Efficiency ? Frontier cost function with environmental ? Variables, load factor, points served, stage ? Length. FRONTIER ; Cost ; Lhs = lc ; Rhs = one,…, loadfctr,log(points),log(stage) $ ? How does load factor affect efficiency? SIMULATE ; scenario: & loadfctr = .4(.025).95 ; plot $
Nonparametric Frontier • Frontier with local • Compute residuals then estimate and given the set of residuals from the nonparametric frontier • Compute efficiencies using residuals and and
