For further details take a look at our course brochure.

The course is based around chapters from the book A Practitioner’s Guide to Stochastic Frontier Analysis using Stata by Subal Kumbhakar, Hung-Jen Wang and Alan Horncastle. The hands-on sections of the course are based on the empirical examples in the book, and use the Stata codes written by the authors for estimating stochastic frontier models using both cross-sectional and panel data. The book, published in January 2015, covers a number of areas, including: the estimation of technical inefficiency in production, cost and profit frontier models; cost and profit frontier models using system models; the estimation of technical and allocative inefficiency in cost and profit frontier models; single equation panel models, and productivity and profitability decomposition.
