Stochastic Frontier Firm Efficiency Analysis
Stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) estimates how far a firm falls short of the best attainable output for its inputs while explicitly separating that shortfall from random noise. Aigner, Lovell and Schmidt's 1977 model introduced the defining idea: a production frontier whose error term is the sum of a symmetric, two-sided noise component and a one-sided, nonnegative inefficiency component. Because deviations below the frontier can come either from bad luck and measurement error or from genuine underperformance, SFA models both and recovers a firm-specific technical-efficiency estimate. Battese and Coelli's 1995 panel-data extension let the mean of the inefficiency term depend on firm characteristics, so analysts can simultaneously estimate the frontier and explain why some firms are more inefficient than others.
