摘要: In the stochastic frontier model, we extend multivariate probability statements of Horrace (J Econom, 126:335–354, 2005) to calculate conditional that a firm is any particular efficiency rank in sample. From this, construct expected for each firm. Compared traditional ranked point estimates, firm-level ranks are more informative about degree uncertainty ranking. The may be useful empiricists. A Monte Carlo study and an empirical example provided.
