一技术效率测度与随机前沿模型经济效率通常用作对经济绩效的判断,Farrell(1957)认为经济效率由两个部分组成:技术效率和配置效率。技术效率被定义为,在给定投入和技术条件下,一个经济体生产最大可能产出的能力;配置效率被定义为,给定要素价格条件下,一个经济体使用最优要素组合的能力。技术效率的概念与新古典经济学一样古老,但对技术效率的测度却不然。新古典生产理论预先假定了充分的技术效率,然而,由于认识到经验现实与理论假定 A Measurement of Technical Efficiency and Stochastic Frontier Models Economic efficiency is often used as a gauge of economic performance. Farrell (1957) argues that economic efficiency consists of two components: technical efficiency and configuration efficiency. Technical efficiency is defined as the ability of an economy to produce the maximum possible output under given inputs and technical conditions. Configuration efficiency is defined as the ability of an economy to use the optimal combination of factors given the price of an element. The concept of technical efficiency is just as old as neoclassical economics, but the measure of technical efficiency is not. Neoclassical production theory presupposes sufficient technical efficiency, however, given the recognition of empirical reality and theoretical assumptions
