## Abstract This study examined the impact of managed care and other environmental factors on hospital inefficiency in 1631 US hospitals during the period 1990β1996. A panel, stochastic frontier regression model was used to estimate inefficiency parameters and inefficiency scores. The results sugg

## Abstract The principal aim of this paper is to estimate a stochastic frontier cost function and an inefficiency effects model in the analysis of the primary healthβcare services purchased by the public authority and supplied by 180 providers in 1996 in Catalonia. The evidence from our sample doe
## Abstract The paper explores the link between managerial performance and cost efficiency of 617 Japanese general local public hospitals in 1999β2007. Treating managerial performance as unobservable heterogeneity, the paper employs a panel data stochastic cost frontier model with latent classes. F
