In the same vein Links of London Bracelets, we chose the stochastic frontier approach to examine whether FDI inflows enhance economic growth via efficiency gains and to estimate technical efficiency for the links of London stores selected. In essence, the stochastic frontier method constructs an efficient frontier by imposing the same technology across all links of London stores in the sample. Deviations from the frontier are divided into inefficiency and noise components Links of London Charms. We make use of Battese and Coelli (1993, 1995) in accordance with the original models of Aigner, Lovell and Schmidt (1977) and Meeusen and van den Broeck (1977).
