I'm working on the impact of environmental influences such as flood, on the TE of shrimp farms. i have data on 1 output and 4 inputs, and on farmers perception on the env. influences(using ranking). I have just one period. Please, what is your advice on the best stochastic production frontier model for this research? I got stucked on battese and coelli 1995 (cross sectional) and the step-wise estimation using the software(FRONTIER 4.1). I guess the econometric signs( Us, Vs and the Betas) are one of the major reasons.Please, i need your comments.
