Abstract

This paper uses a panel-data framework and models firm-specific technical inefficiency which is allowed to vary over time. The specification is flexible enough to accommodate increasing, decreasing, and time-invariant behavior of technical inefficiency. Time-varying firm- and input-specific allocative inefficiency is also incorporated. The estimation method suggested uses a parametric production function and cost-minimization hypothesis.
