Testing Independence in Models of Productive Efficiency

Author

Listed:
  • Paul Wilson

Abstract

Bootstrap methods for inference in nonparametric models of productive efficiency can be simplified, reducing computational burden, when the independence condition implicitly assumed in Simar and Wilson (1998) holds. This paper surveys nonparametric tests of independence that might be useful in this context. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2003
