TL;DR: In this article, an empirical model is developed to distinguish the roles of resource-level differences from productivity differences in explaining output differences between exporters and non-exporters of Taiwanese electronic products.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a model that provides flexible parameterizations of the exogenous influences on inefficiency and demonstrate the model's unique property of accommodating non-monotonic efficiency effect.
Abstract: We consider a model that provides flexible parameterizations of the exogenous influences on inefficiency. In particular, we demonstrate the model's unique property of accommodating non-monotonic efficiency effect. With this non-monotonicity, production efficiency no longer increases or decreases monotonically with the exogenous influence; instead, the relationship can shifts within the sample. Our empirical example shows that variables can indeed have non-monotonic effects on efficiency. Furthermore, ignoring non-monotonicity is shown to yield an inferior estimation of the model, which sometimes results in opposite predictions concerning the data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define the Wiener decomposition of a stationary series as the sum of uncorrelated components, each of which is associated with a single frequency, or a narrow frequency band.
Abstract: The definition of causation, discussed in Granger (1980) and elsewhere, has been widely applied in economics and in other disciplines. For this definition, a series yt is said to cause xt+l if it contains information about the forecastability for xt+l contained nowhere else in some large information set, which includes xt−j, j ≥ 0. However, it would be convenient to think of causality being different in extent or direction at seasonal or low frequencies, say, than at other frequencies. The fact that a stationary series is effectively the (uncountably infinite) sum of uncorrelated components, each of which is associated with a single frequency, or a narrow frequency band, introduces the possibility that the full causal relationship can be decomposed by frequency. This is known as the Wiener decomposition or the spectral decomposition of the series, as discussed by Hannan (1970). For any series generated by , where xt, and are both stationary, with finite variances and a(B) is a backward filterwith B the backward operator, there is a simple, well-known relationship between the spectral decompositions of the two series.

TL;DR: In this article, a class of panel stochastic frontier models is proposed to distinguish between unobserved individual heterogeneity and inefficiency, and it is shown that first-difference and within-transformation can be analytically performed on this model to remove the fixed individual effects.
