Support Vector Frontiers: a New Approach for Estimating Production Functions through Support Vector Machines
2021
Omega : The International Journal of Management Science
In microeconomics, a topic of interest is the estimation of production functions. By definition, a production function is a non-decreasing function that envelops all the observations (firms) from above in the input-output space, capturing the extreme behavior of the data. These characteristics are far from the usual ones assumed by machine learning techniques like Support Vector Regression (SVR) in Support Vector Machines, where the function to be estimated relates the response variable to the
