Abstract

The paper examines technical efficiency of Russian firms during the period from 2013 to 2018 applying the stochastic production frontier method. The estimates obtained indicate that technical efficiency grows with firm size and declines with its age. While macroeconomic situation deteriorated in 2015–2016, technical efficiency in most industries changed insignificantly. However, the number of industries with a negative trend in technical efficiency is higher than the number of industries with a positive trend. The contribution of industries with declining technical efficiency to the total employment and output are higher than those of industries with growing technical efficiency or insignificantly changing technical efficiency.

2013-2018年俄罗斯企业技术效率趋势

本文运用随机生产前沿方法对2013 - 2018年俄罗斯企业的技术效率进行了实证研究。结果表明，技术效率随企业规模的增大而增大，随企业年龄的增大而减小。在2015-2016年宏观经济形势恶化的同时，大多数行业的技术效率变化不大。但技术效率呈负趋势的行业数量高于呈正趋势的行业数量。技术效率下降的行业对总就业和总产出的贡献高于技术效率增长或变化不显著的行业。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Econometrics is an international journal published bi-monthly, plus 1 additional issue (total 7 issues). It aims to publish articles of high quality dealing with the application of existing as well as new econometric techniques to a wide variety of problems in economics and related subjects, covering topics in measurement, estimation, testing, forecasting, and policy analysis. The emphasis is on the careful and rigorous application of econometric techniques and the appropriate interpretation of the results. The economic content of the articles is stressed. A special feature of the Journal is its emphasis on the replicability of results by other researchers. To achieve this aim, authors are expected to make available a complete set of the data used as well as any specialised computer programs employed through a readily accessible medium, preferably in a machine-readable form. The use of microcomputers in applied research and transferability of data is emphasised. The Journal also features occasional sections of short papers re-evaluating previously published papers. The intention of the Journal of Applied Econometrics is to provide an outlet for innovative, quantitative research in economics which cuts across areas of specialisation, involves transferable techniques, and is easily replicable by other researchers. Contributions that introduce statistical methods that are applicable to a variety of economic problems are actively encouraged. The Journal also aims to publish review and survey articles that make recent developments in the field of theoretical and applied econometrics more readily accessible to applied economists in general.
