This is achieved using trip data from a sample of vessels and a theoretically consistent approach which involves the simultaneous estimation of the stochastic frontier model and the inefficiency model by ML methods. The empirical results suggest that there is potential for short-run output increases without additional fishing effort. They also suggest that vessel- and (to a lesser extent) skipper-specific characteristics do influence TE levels. 收起
