| Tiivistelmä: | The study divides the empirical literature on production and cost functions into two strands. The neoclassical approach concentrates on model parameters, while the frontier approach demcomposes the disturbance term to a symmetric noise term and a positively skewed inefficiency term. A theoretical justification is proposed for the skewness of the inefficiency term, arguing that this skewness is the key testable hypothesis of the frontier approach. A proposal to test the regression residuals for skewness in order to distinguish the two competing approaches is made. |
