DOI: 10.1007/s00181-020-02013-z
Abstract: In this paper, we propose the use of stochastic frontier models to impose theoretical regularity constraints (like monotonicity and concavity) on flexible functional forms. These constraints take the form of inequalities involving the data and… read more here.
