Abstract

Following the recent work of Gómez-Déniz and Pérez-Rodríguez (2014), this paper extends the results obtained there to the normal-exponential distribution with dependence. Accordingly, the main aim of the present paper is to enhance stochastic production frontier and stochastic cost frontier modelling by proposing a bivariate distribution for dependent errors which allows us to nest the classical models. Closed-form expressions for the error term and technical efficiency are provided. An illustration using real data from the econometric literature is provided to show the applicability of the model proposed. || Continuando el reciente trabajo de Gómez-Déniz y Pérez-Rodríguez (2014), el presente artículo extiende los resultados obtenidos a la distribución normal-exponencial con dependencia. En consecuencia, el principal propósito de este artículo es mejorar el modelado de la frontera estocástica tanto de producción como de coste proponiendo para ello una distribución bivariante para errores dependientes que nos permitan encajar los modelos clásicos. Se obtienen las expresiones en forma cerrada para el término de error y la eficiencia técnica. Se ilustra la aplicabilidad del modelo propouesto usando datos reales existentes en la literatura econométrica.
