Nonparametric Technical Efficiency with N Firms and M Inputs: A Simulation

No 121333, Staff Papers from Cornell University, Department of Applied Economics and Management

Abstract: Simulation of nonparametric efficiency shows that even when the number of firms is large, defining ten or more inputs results in most firms being efficient. Comparison of empirical with simulated results suggests that the dimension of the problem rather than actual efficiencies has the greater effect for some empirical results.
