Learning And Technology Spillover: Productivity Convergence In Norwegian Salmon Aquaculture

Author

  • Tveteras, Ragnar

Abstract

An econometric analysis of productivity convergence in Norwegian salmon aquaculture is undertaken. We also test for the effects of learning and external industry infrastructure capital. Empirical evidence for reduction in productivity differentials is found, but the estimated models also provide indications of more permanent differences in productivity and their underlying sources.
