Thanks a lot.

And about the catch-up and frontier-shift? My scientic question is about frontier-shift.

Thanks a lot. I am going to study the material.

Mohamed O. A. Bushara

Go to Tim Coelli ( Data Envelopment analysis Prgramme( DEAP SOFT WARE) , that would solve the problem . You can not combine econometric analysis with linear programming analysis, for frontier.

Thanks for the tip. I am using both but in separated analysis.

Do you think that is possible to use the frontier-shift index to regress as a dependente variable?
