Thanks Scott.
Actually, my question also pertains to whether Stata's xtfrontier
command can compute both technical efficiency, and parameters of
exogenous variables which may influence the efficiency of the firm (firm
specific factors - or out of ignorance firm dummies). This would be
equivalent to the Battesse and Coelli (1995) model specification for use
with panel data.
for example, y = f(x1, x2 x3, u)
where u = f(z1, z2, z3)
Thanks.
Sen.

You could include firm dummy variables with -frontier, cm()- in order
to
exploit the panel nature of the data.
