Nonparametric estimation of concave production technologies by entropic methods
提出一种基于最大似然原理的非参数计量方法，利用熵距离和凸规划技术估计凹性生产函数，并通过小样本和大样本数据验证其可行性。
Abstract An econometric methodology is developed for nonparametric estimation of concave production technologies. The methodology, based on the principle of maximum likelihood, uses entropic distance and convex programming techniques to estimate production functions. Empirical applications are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the methodology in small and large datasets. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
