u.ssfa {ssfa}

SSFA inefficiency

Description

This function returns the specific inefficiency of each producer (without local spatial effects) calculated by the Jondrow et al. (JLMS) (1982) formulation modified by using an autoregressive specification in the inefficiency term.

Usage

u.ssfa(object, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class ssfa.

...

further arguments for methods.

Value

Inefficiency of each producer (without local spatial effects).
