Frontier Analysis

Pieter Woltjer

Chapter 48 in An Economist’s Guide to Economic History, 2018, pp 417-424 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A great deal of research in economics and business is devoted to the study of the efficiency of individuals, organisations or entire economies. This chapter introduces a family of innovative techniques that help in the analysis of efficiencies by comparing inputs and outputs to estimate an efficiency frontier. A series of examples from both macroeconomic history and microeconomic history illustrate common areas of application.
