frontier: Stochastic Frontier Analysis

Tim Coelli, Arne Henningsen · 2008

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Stochastic Frontier Production and Cost Functions. Two specifications are available: the error components specification with time-varying efficiencies (Battese and Coelli, 1992, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1007%2FBF00158774" target="_top">doi:10.1007/BF00158774</a>&gt;) and a model specification in which the firm effects are directly influenced by a number of variables (Battese and Coelli, 1995, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1007%2FBF01205442" target="_top">doi:10.1007/BF01205442</a>&gt;).

<div> In the context of global climate change, green development has become the main goal of smart city construction. Most existing research suggests that smart cities will enhance the level of the green total factor productivity (GTFP) in cities. However, this study found that smart cities will reduce the level of green total factor production in the short term and increase it in the long term. Based on this, this article selects three batches of smart cities in China from 2013 to 2019, and uses the Malmquist index model, common frontier function, and panel data method to analyze the GTFP model in the early stage of smart city construction in China. The study found that: (1) the GTFP of the three batches of smart cities in the early stage of construction was less than 1 and showed a downward trend, indicating that smart cities will reduce the GTFP level of cities in the short term. (2) Technical efficiency is the main reason for the decline of GTFP in the early stage of smart city construction and the rise of GTFP in the medium and long term. Specifically, there is a U-shaped relationship between the technological efficiency of smart cities and their GTFP. For every 1% increase in technical efficiency in the later stages of smart cities, GTFP increases by 47.3%. (3) The GTFP in the process of smart city construction shows a trend of decreasing in the early stage and increasing in the middle and later stages. The GTFP level in the later stage of smart cities is greater than 1 and shows a fluctuating upward trend, indicating that smart cities will improve the city’s GTFP level in the long run. In view of this, we should attach importance to ecological protection in the early stage of smart city construction and take effective measures to reduce carbon emissions during this period. During this period, policies such as taxation can be implemented to encourage companies to adopt cleaner production technologies, strengthen the exchange of green technologies between cities, accelerate the flow of green knowledge, reduce redundant construction of information infrastructure, and thus minimize the decline in GTFP in the early stages of smart city construction. This study provides policy recommendations and decision-making references for further promoting the construction of new green and smart cities worldwide. </div>

In the aftermath of World War II, one of the primary motivations for creating the institutions that eventually evolved into the European Union (EU) was to ensure a more lasting peace in Europe by connecting, or &amp;quot;integrating, &amp;quot; member nations in such a way that a resurgence of strong nationalism could not again lead to war. To this end, the EU has conceptualized Europe as a “Europe of Regions ” through which it administers socioeconomic policies at the sub-national level through local governments. These regional policies are also meant explicitly to counteract potential nationalism among the EU’s member nations. However, the governing structure of the EU itself privileges the sovereign nation-state, while the politics of the EU commonly fracture along national lines. Therefore, the EU creates tensions not only between the local regions and national governments, but also between the national and international governments. In this manner, local administrations can find themselves aligned with international institutions in opposition to their own national governments. This paper explores the tension and competition of three levels of governance (local, national, and international), within the EU by utilizing the case of transnational regional institutions called “Euroregions ” located along the Polish/German Border. Because they are a hybrid form of governmentality, these Euroregions are a location where the conflict between different levels of government are played out &amp;quot;on the ground &amp;quot; through policy initiatives and projects directed at “integrating ” Poland and Germany at the local level, and demonstrate the reorientation of the conception of state sovereignty in a transnational context. ii
