  1. Topics in Microeconometrics Professor William Greene Stern School of Business, New York University at Curtin Business School Curtin University Perth July 22-24, 2013

  2. 4. Frontier Model Extensions

  3. Model Extensions

  4. Model Extensions • Simulation Based Estimators • Normal-Gamma Frontier Model • Bayesian Estimation of Stochastic Frontiers • A Discrete Outcomes Frontier • Similar Model Structures • Similar Estimation Methodologies • Similar Results

  5. Functional Forms Normal-half normal and normal-exponential: Restrictive functional forms for the inefficiency distribution

  6. Normal-Truncated Normal More flexible. Inconvenient, sometimes ill behaved log-likelihood function. MU=-.5 MU=0 MU=+.5

  7. Normal-Gamma Very flexible model. VERY difficult log likelihood function. Bayesians love it. Conjugate functional forms for other model parts

  8. Normal-Gamma Model z ~ N[-i + v2/u, v2]. q(r,εi) is extremely difficult to compute

  9. Normal-Gamma Frontier Model

  10. Simulating the Log Likelihood • i = yi - ’xi, • i = -i - v2/u, • = v, and PL = (-i/) Fqis a draw from the continuous uniform(0,1) distribution.

  11. Application to C&G Data This is the standard data set for developing and testing Exponential, Gamma, and Bayesian estimators.

  12. Application to C&G Data Descriptive Statistics for JLMS Estimates of E[u|e] Based on Maximum Likelihood Estimates of Stochastic Frontier Models

  13. Inefficiency Estimates

  14. Tsionas Fourier Approach to Gamma

  15. A 3 Parameter Gamma Model

  16. Discrete Outcome Stochastic Frontier
