Recommendations

• A more efficient algorithm for convex nonparametric least squares
• Estimating non-convex production sets -- imposing convex input sets and output sets in data envelopment analysis
• Representation theorem for convex nonparametric least squares
• Cost functions are nonconvex in the outputs when the technology is nonconvex: convexification is not harmless
