The Effect of Employing Temporary Workers on Efficiency: Evidence From a Meta-Frontier Analysis

This study examines the impact of employing temporary workers on technical efficiency (TE) by employing stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and meta-frontier analysis (MFA). These two statistical methods yield slightly different, yet empirically meaningful, results. SFA—the more conventional methodol...
