Metafrontier efficiency analysis with convex and non-convex metatechnologies by stochastic nonparametric envelopment of data

M Afsharian - Economics Letters, 2017 - Elsevier
This paper suggests how stochastic nonparametric envelopment of data (StoNED) can be
extended as an estimator in the metafrontier efficiency analysis. Both convex and non-
convex metatechnologies are formed and a semi-nonparametric estimation technique for the
corresponding metafrontiers is developed. Remaining consistent with the metafrontier
theory, the resulting estimated metafrontiers always envelope the estimated group frontiers.
