Abstract

Maximum entropy in the estimation of parameters in stochastic production frontier models could be an attractive procedure in economic efficiency analysis. In this work, the generalized maximum entropy and the generalized cross entropy estimators are reviewed and their implementation in the stochastic frontier analysis is discussed. An application to eco-efficiency analysis of European countries is used to illustrate the procedures of maximum entropy estimation.
