Abstract: Our chapter provides a brief introduction to the stochastic frontier paradigm - one of the most powerful techniques for performance analysis developed over the lastfew decades to address various research questions for many contexts with empirical applications in a wide variety of economic sectors such as banking, healthcare, agriculture,and so on. We also document the estimation routines used to implement the classical models as well as the recent developments in this research area for practitioners, especially those who are willing to use Stata, but also with tips on sources for R and Matlab users.
