A Bayesian estimator for stochastic frontier models with errors in variables

[[abstract]]A Bayesian estimator is proposed for a stochastic frontier model with errors in variables. The model assumes a truncated-normal distribution for the inefficiency and accommodates exogenous determinants of inefficiency. An empirical example of Tobin’s Q investment model is provided, in which the Q variable is known to suffer from measurement error. Results show that correcting for measurement error in the Q variable has an important effect on the estimation results.[[notice]]補正完畢[[journaltype]]國外[[incitationindex]]SSCI[[ispeerreviewed]]Y[[booktype]]紙本[[booktype]]電子版[[countrycodes]]US
