Abstract
The past two decades has seen tourism research embrace frontier methods to assess efficiency in tourism. Generically these methods are split into two different camps, deterministic and stochastic frontier models. Deterministic models are by their nature nonparametric and do not require distributional assumptions. Stochastic models allow for noise to enter the frontier, typically at the expense of a variety of potentially unverifiable assumptions. The primary objective of this short survey is to alert readers to the many advances that have been made to eliminate or mitigate various parametric assumptions in the stochastic frontier model.
期刊介绍：
Tourism Economics, published quarterly, covers the business aspects of tourism in the wider context. It takes account of constraints on development, such as social and community interests and the sustainable use of tourism and recreation resources, and inputs into the production process. The definition of tourism used includes tourist trips taken for all purposes, embracing both stay and day visitors. Articles address the components of the tourism product (accommodation; restaurants; merchandizing; attractions; transport; entertainment; tourist activities); and the economic organization of tourism at micro and macro levels (market structure; role of public/private sectors; community interests; strategic planning; marketing; finance; economic development).
