Abstract

We consider a stochastic frontier regression model with a time dependent efficiency process, which is assumed to follow an exponential autoregressive sequence. The likelihood for the model is derived in the context of a bivariate exponential distribution. Bayesian method is suggested for the estimation of parameters. We apply the model and the estimation procedure to a panel of US airlines data and show empirically that the model is dynamic in the sense that it reveals improvement in the efficiency or reduction in the inefficiency over time.
