The software available to implement and carry out efficiency analysis is crucial for the diffusion of efficiency frontier techniques among applied researchers and policy makers. The implementation of up-to-date productivity and efficiency analysis is indeed important to advance our knowledge in many fields, ranging from the public and regulated sectors to the private ones. This contributionfillsagapintheexistingliteratureandsurveysthecurrentlyavailableoptionstoestimate a variety of frontier methodologies using either general or dedicated programs.
