Re: st: Profit efficiency

[Raulin Cadet <raulin.cadet@univ-rennes1.fr>]

Dear Pavlos,

Thank you for your answer. You are right about the function. However,  
my question was related not to the function, but to Stata. It seems  
that one may use Stata to estimate profit, using the default  
"technical efficiency estimates", i.e whitout indicate "cost" in the  
command line.

Best Regards,
