When Is Metafrontier Analysis Appropriate? An Example of Varietal Differences in Pistachio Production in Iran (2010, background): “O’Donnell and Griffiths (2006) used a state-contingent frontier where states of nature for the different environment are treated as a latent variable and estimated using finite mixture model.”
Metafrontier frameworks for the study of firm-level efficiencies and technology ratios (2008, methodology): “…statistical methods for determining and/or confirming the number of groups (and group membership) range from estimating and testing the coefficients of dummy-variable models, to estimating and testing the parameters of mixtures models (e.g., Orea and Kumbhakar 2004; O’Donnell and Griffiths 2006).”
The Econometric Approach to Efficiency Analysis (2008, background): “43 What remains unsettled, at least as a caveat, is the Ritter and Simar (1997) argument that the model is difficult to identify.”
