W tym artykule metodologia bayesowska została wykorzystana do oszacowania wybranych charakterystyk procesu produkcyjnego i indywidualnych wskaźników efektywności kosztowej 32 elektrowni i elektrociepłowni zawodowych w Polsce w latach 1995-1997. (fragment tekstu)
The paper presents the use of the Bayesian stochastic frontier approach in modeling technology and cost efficiency on the basis of panel data. The translog cost frontier and the Varying Efficiency Distribution (VED) specification are discussed and adopted in the empirical part. The posterior means of individual cost efficiency in the analysed branch of industry vary from 0.55 to 0.97. In order to explain this variability, the influence of three additional exogenous variables on the level of cost efficiency is examined through the Highest Posterior Density regions approach. No evidence of importance of those variables has been found. (original abstract)
