The Development of the Stochastic Production Frontier Approach and its Applications in China

本文对随机前沿生产函数模型的发展及其在中国生产率分析中的应用进行了评述。文章首先介绍随机前沿方法的基本原理、估计方法和在面板数据下对全要素生产率增长的分解,随后评述随机前沿生产函数模型的最新进展和在经验分析中的优势与作用,最后总结了在中国行业和地区经济增长研究中随机前沿方法的成果和不足,并探讨今后研究的发展方向。

This paper is a review on the development of the stochastic frontier production function model and its applications in the productivity analysis of China. The authors introduce the basic theory and estimation methods of the stochastic frontier approach and illuminate the decomposition of total factor productivity growth with panel data. After the summary of the benefits and recent development of stochastic frontier model, the results and limitations of the research based on SFA on the productivity of China are investigated and the direction of further research is discussed.
