SFKK: Stata module to estimate endogenous stochastic frontier models in the style of Karakaplan and Kutlu

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: sfkk fits endogenous stochastic production or cost frontier models following the methodology provided by Karakaplan and Kutlu (2015). sfkk provides estimators for the parameters of a linear model with a disturbance that is assumed to be a mixture of two components: a measure of inefficiency which is strictly nonnegative and a two-sided error term from a symmetric distribution. sfkk can handle endogenous variables in the frontier and/or the inefficiency, and the sfkk estimates outperform the standard frontier estimates that ignore endogeneity. See Karakaplan and Kutlu (2015) for a detailed explanation of their methodology and empirical analyses.
