In this paper, the estimate of the productive efficiency for some Italian fleet segments is proposed. The estimate is … might be preferable to non-parametric DEA method for efficiency estimation. In other words, the risk connected with DEA is … efficiency of fishing vessels and fleet segments. This paper attempts to apply both techniques, simultaneously, to the …

We present a model of a multi-species fishery and show that (i) consumer preferences for seafood diversity may trigger a sequential collapse of fish stocks under open-access fishery, (ii) the stronger the preferences are for diversity the higher is the need for coordinated multi-species...

The importance of fish size for price per kilo is studied using an inverse demand approach. Prices per kilo in different size categories of the same species differ significantly. This means that the average price for a species may change due to e.g., high-grading, growth overfishing or a...
