| Abstract: | The paper proposes to combine stochastic frontier model. These prior measures are revised to obtain posterior measures using Bayes' theorem. Monte Carlo methods are developed to perform empirical Bayes inference in the new model. The methods are organized around Gibbs sampling with data augmentation. The new techniques are illustrated in the context of efficiency measurement´in US airlines. |
