An easy-to-understand guide to modelling productivity and efficiency using modern statistical tools. Introduces the fundamentals of stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and the latest concepts and methods related to the use of copulas in SFA. A useful reference for those interested in the newest robust methods of business analytics.



This book is an easy-to-understand guide to modeling productivity and efficiency using modern statistical tools. It introduces readers to the fundamentals of stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and gradually takes them to the forefront of academic research in this area, examining the latest concepts and methods related to the use of copulas in SFA.

Following a comprehensive review of classic methodology, Professor Artem Prokhorov covers topics in panel data modeling, in endogeneity in SFA, in joint modeling of technical and allocative inefficiency, and in optimal and robust prediction of inefficiency scores. This is done using copulas to capture various kinds of statistical dependence that have been previously ignored when modeling production. The classic and advanced topics are illustrated using practical examples and codes written in modern programming languages. As an important example, the book spells out the case where both the values of output and the ratio of inputs used in production are optimized simultaneously. Such simultaneity, if ignored, leads to biased estimates of productivity and returns-to-scale and may understate inefficiency.

The book offers a useful reference for those interested in the newest robust methods of business analytics in the area of productivity and efficiency, with implications for strategy, budgeting, resourcing and benchmarking of firms, industries and production units more generally.

Recenzijas

"Artem Prokhorov has pulled together a comprehensive survey of results for copula methods for Stochastic Frontier models. Many of these are from his own published work. Analysts and practitioners will want to complete their examination with this guide to leading edge extensions and tools for the Stochastic Frontier methodology."

William H. Greene, New York University and University of South Florida; Past Editor in Chief, Journal of Productivity Analysis

"Modeling dependence in stochastic frontier models has long been underutilized and misunderstood. This text provides a cutting edge and comprehensive treatment of the subject from the leading expert in this area. Full of examples, intuition and code, this work will move both applied and theoretical researchers closer to the 'frontier'."

Christopher F. Parmeter, Associate Professor, University of Miami, United States

"This is the first, and so far only, book that brings together the approach of statistical copulas and the Stochastic Frontier models, and does so in rigorous way, while also being user-friendly for practitioners, due to the well-designed examples, exercises and programming codes it provides to the readers."

Valentin Zelenyuk, Professor, The University of Queensland, Australia

This revolutionary book utilizes state-of-the-art copula approaches to precisely model dependency in stochastic frontier models. Through well-crafted chapters, practical examples, and program codes, it provides graduate students, analysts, and practitioners with comprehensive tools to master these advanced techniques. Highly recommend it!
