From the hardback: 'Stochastic Frontier Analysis is a complete textbook on stochastic frontier models. It deals with stochastic frontier production, cost and profit functions. Models for cross-sectional and panel data are presented and discussed. The analysis of technical change and inefficiency change with panel data is also discussed in detail. The authors are highly qualified to produce such a comprehensive book on stochastic frontiers. Lovell was one of the authors of the seminal paper on the stochastic frontier production function model. He has been undertaking research on many aspects of parametric and non-parametric frontier modelling and efficiency measurement for over twenty-five years. He is a 'pioneer' in this important research area. Kumbhakar has written outstanding papers on stochastic frontier models, both of a theoretical and applied nature, over the last 12 or more years. It will surely be a helpful and widely-cited book for researchers in the field.' George E. Battese, University of New England, Australia
