Estimation of Stochastic Frontier Models with Fixed Effects through Monte Carlo Maximum Likelihood

Estimation of nonlinear fixed-effects models is plagued by the incidental parameters problem. This paper proposes a procedure for choosing appropriate densities for integrating the incidental parameters from the likelihood function in a general context. The densities are based on priors that are upd...
