Abstract: Parameter estimates from OLS, fixed effects and stochastic production frontier models are compared using panel data for a sample of Vermont dairy farms. The results confirm that OLS production function models without firm effects lead to biased estimates. The estimates from the production frontier model area also deemed to be biased.
