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. 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. 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). The book is accompanied by a dedicated website where 2TSF software code in the R and gretl open-source platforms is provided. 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aStatistics 606 $aStochastic models 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aQuantitative Economics 606 $aStatistics in Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance 606 $aStochastic Modelling in Statistics 615 0$aEconometrics. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 0$aStochastic models. 615 14$aEconometrics. 615 24$aQuantitative Economics. 615 24$aStatistics in Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance. 615 24$aStochastic Modelling in Statistics. 676 $a330.015195 700 $aPapadopoulos$b Alecos$01815399 701 $aParmeter$b Christopher F$0748211 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910996482903321 996 $aTwo-Tier Stochastic Frontier Analysis for the Social Sciences$94370361 997 $aUNINA
