| Abstract: | This paper uses Bayesian stochastic frontier methods to measure the productivity gap between Poland and Western countries that existed before the beginning of the main Polish economic reform. Using data for 20 Western economies, Poland and Yugoslavia the authors estimate a translog stochastic frontier and make inference about individual efficiencies. Following the methodology proposed in the earlier work, the authors also decompose output growth into technical, efficiency and input changes and examine patterns of growth in the period under consideration. |
