Abstract

The estimation of technical efficiency in fisheries has become a popular research topic among fisheries economists in the last decade. An interesting aspect of fishing activity is that even though in most fisheries boats specifically try to catch one or two species of interest, they end up catching several species (by-catch). The question is then how to correctly model this situation. In this paper we focus on the different methods to modeling multi-output technologies using a primal approach. In the empirical section we compare the results of the estimation of three of these models, namely the aggregate-output production function, the multi-output production function, and the distance function.
