This article investigates the financing constraints and investment efficiency of Canadian real estate and construction firms (RECFs) using a stochastic frontier approach. Our results support the observation that Canadian RECFs have a strong dependence of using both equity financing and debt financing and debt financing is likely to reduce the uncertainty of future financing while equity financing might enlarge the uncertainty. Regional analysis shows that the investment efficiency level of RECFs located in British Columbia (BC) was significantly higher than those RECFs located in other provinces. Small size RECFs demonstrated a very robust ascending trend in the investment efficiency despite the impact of Global Financial Crisis.

Financing constraints and investment efficiency: evidence from a panel of Canadian forest firms
This article examines the financial constraint of 18 listed Canadian forest firms between 2000 and 2014 following the stochastic frontier approach. Empirical results support the observation that Canadian forest firms have a strong dependence of us...
Stochastic Frontier Approach (SFA) provides both cross-sectional and inter-temporal comparisons of the effects of financing constraints. SFA besides inferring the strength of financing constraints based on the sign and significance of cash flow vari...
We examine the financial constraint of some listed firms in Bangladesh following the SFA approach and find that they are under severe financial constraint. The estimated investment efficiency index (IEI) demonstrates a loss of almost 80% of the rate...
