Abstract

This article analyses the technical efficiency of the Angolan soccer league from 2008 to 2014, using a translog distance stochastic frontier model. The Greene stochastic frontier model, presented in 2005, and Kumbhakar stochastic frontier model, presented in 1990, are adopted, and the covariates used include Luanda location, funding by the oil company Sonangol, club supported by rich fans and club relegated during the period. Policy implications are then derived.
