Abstract

The estimation of optimal support boundaries under the monotonicity constraint is relatively
unexplored and still in full development. This article examines a new extreme-value based model
which provides a valid alternative for completely envelopment frontier models that often super
from lack of precision, and for purely stochastic ones that are known to be sensitive to model
misspecification. We provide different motivating applications including the estimation of the
minimal cost in production activity and the assessment of the reliability of nuclear reactors.
