Two-Tier Stochastic Frontier Analysis for the Social Sciences
Overview
This textbook provides an up-to-date treatment of the two-tier stochastic frontier model and its applications across the social sciences. It is a cohesive treatise on both the classical methods of estimation and inference and various machinations of the two-tier stochastic frontier model, as well as more recently developed tools that can shed new insight into why these opposing latent forces which affect economic, sociopolitical, and even psychological outcomes, exist, and to what extent.
Intended Audience
The text is intended to be a self-contained reference for practitioners to rely on when using these methods in their research, regardless of field.
Content and Applications
It includes sixteen empirical applications on diverse topics (labor market, housing market, consumer goods, production economics, sociology, international relations, psychology, public education, healthcare management, environmental policy).
Additional Resources
The book is accompanied by a dedicated website where 2TSF software code in the R and gretl open-source platforms is provided.
