Title
An improved Afriat-Diewert-Parkan nonparametric production function estimator.
Abstract
•Existing nonparametric frontier estimators tend to overfit data in the presence of moderate noise.•We propose new estimators with less overfitting.•Small sample properties of these estimators are provided in a Monte Carlo Simulation.•The simulation illustrates when the new estimators outperform the existing estimator.
