Handling Losses in Translog Profit Models

No 07-17, Working Papers from Utrecht School of Economics

Abstract: In this paper, we compare standard approaches used to handle losses in logarithmic stochastic profit frontier models with a simple novel approach. We discuss discriminatory power, rank stability and precision of profit efficiency scores. Our new method enhances rank stability and discriminatory power, and improves the precision of profit efficiency scores.
