Formulation and estimation of stochastic frontier production function models. (English)
[J] J. Econom. 6, No. 1, 21-37 (1977). ISSN 0304-4076

Summary: Previous studies of the so-called frontier production function have not utilized an adequate characterization of the disturbance term for such a model. In this paper we provide an appropriate specification, by defining the disturbance term as the sum of symmetric normal and (negative) half-normal random variables. Various aspects of maximum-likelihood estimation for the coefficients of a production function with an additive disturbance term of this sort are then considered.
