Hi,
I would like to use the xtfrontier command in Stata to estimate
a stochastic frontier model for panel data. Now, stochastic
frontier models can have Cobb-Douglas or translog functional
forms. Hence, there has to be a way to test which one of these
functional form better fits the data, and then use that functional
form for the estimation. How can one do that in the context of the
xtfrontier command?
Regards,
Sumon
