Productivity Development in Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish Fisheries
Abstract This paper analyzes the total factor productivity (TFP) performance of fisheries in Iceland, Norway, and Sweden during the period 1973-2003. We measure TFP growth using real gross value added as output and capital input, labour input and a stock input index based on the major fish stocks. I...
