Misspecification in allocative inefficiency: A simulation study

Author

Listed:
  • Kutlu, Levent

Abstract

We make an extensive simulation analysis in order to investigate the consequences of ignoring the potentially complex and data dependent effects of allocative inefficiency on the estimation of stochastic frontier panel data models. Generally system estimators perform worse than single equation estimators. This result holds even when we approximate the allocative inefficiency.
