Output Substitution in Multi-Species Trawl Fisheries: Implications for Quota Setting
Koundouri, Phoebe; Bjorndal, Trond; Pascoe, Sean - 2004
In most multi-species fisheries managed through output controls, total allowable catches (TACs) are set primarily on the basis of biological considerations, usually on a species by species basis. An implicit assumption of management is that fishers are able to adjust their product mix in line...

Explaining agricultural productivity growth: an international perspective
Headey, Derek; Alauddin, Mohammad; Rao, D. S. Prasada - 2010
This article presents multi-output, multi-input total factor productivity (TFP) growth rates in agriculture for 88 countries over the 1970–2001 period, estimated with both stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and the more commonly employed data envelopment analysis (DEA). We find results with...

The Role and Development of Technology-Intensive Suppliers in Resource-Based Economies: A Literature Review
Torres Fuchslocher, Carlos - 2007
Although primary industries are important to developing countries, they have been largely unable to contribute to rapid growth. Systematically strengthening the development of local technology-intensive suppliers (t-suppliers), however, may contribute to both reinforcing the industrial base and...

Robust control of a spatially distributed commercial fishery
Brock, William A.; Xepapadeas, Anastasios; … - 2013
We consider a robust control model for a spatially distributed commercial fishery under uncertainty, and in particular a tracking problem, i.e. the problem of robust stabilization of a chosen deterministic benchmark state in the presence of model uncertainty. The problem is expressed in the form...
