摘要: Heterogeneity among firms is quite prevalent in industries. Using the random coefficients model, this paper aims to measure productive efficiency of allowing heterogeneity firms. Firm level data from Bangladesh food manufacturing are used for empirical estimation. The results show that there wide variations across attributable firms’ heterogeneity. Further, it shows ample scope increasing given resources and technology.
