摘要: In this paper we describe the use of modern numerical integration methods for making posterior inferences in composed error stochastic frontier models panel data or individual cross- sections. Two Monte Carlo have been used practical applications. We survey these two some detail and argue that Gibbs sampling can greatly reduce computational difficulties involved analyzing such models.
