Directional output distance functions: endogenous directions based on exogenous normalization constraints

Creator:: Färe, Rolf, Grosskopf, S., and Whittaker, G.
Abstract:: In response to a question raised by Knox Lovell, we develop a method for estimating directional output distance functions with endogenously determined direction vectors based on exogenous normalization constraints. This is reminiscent of the Russell measure proposed by Färe and Lovell (J Econ Theory 19:150–162, 1978). Moreover it is related...

Productivity change and fleet restructuring after transition to individual transferable quota management

Creator:: Färe, Rolf, Grosskopf, Shawna, and Walden, John
Abstract:: Productivity change after transition to an individual transferable quota (ITQ) management system is driven by exit of some vessels, entry of other vessels, and changes in productivity of existing vessels. Generally, it is thought that an ITQ system boosts productivity due to the exit of less productive vessels. However, ITQ...

Technical change and pollution abatement costs

Creator:: Färe, Rolf, Grosskopf, Shawna, and Pasurka, Carl
Abstract:: There is continuing interest in the trend of costs associated with pollution abatement activities. We specify an environmental production technology to model the joint production of good and bad outputs. The joint production model calculates pollution abatement costs and identifies changes in these costs associated with: (1) technical change, (2)...

On Nonparametric Estimation: With a Focus on Agriculture

Creator:: Färe, Rolf, Grosskopf, Shawna, Pasurka, Carl, and Martins-Filho, Carlos
Abstract:: We review nonparametric estimation of efficiency and productivity, by which we mainly mean activity analysis, or data envelopment analysis (DEA). The review covers topics that we hope will be of special interest to those doing research in the realm of agriculture. We also include a brief appendix addressing nonparametric estimation...

Application of index number theory to the construction of a water quality index: Aggregated nutrient loadings related to the areal extent of hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico

Creator:: Whittaker, Gerald, Barnhart, Bradley, Färe, Rolf, and Grosskopf, Shawna
Abstract:: Numerous studies have linked individual nutrient loadings from the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers to the growth of the hypoxic, or oxygen depleted, zone in the northern Gulf of Mexico. However, in the discussion of policy to remediate Gulf hypoxia, it is beneficial for stakeholders and policymakers to obtain a single...

Substitutability among undesirable outputs

Creator:: Fare, Rolf, Grosskopf, Shawna, Pasurka, Carl A. Jr., and Weber, William L.
Abstract:: In recent years, economists have started to move beyond calculating regulatory effects on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis since their interaction is important. In this study, we take up this issue. To allow for joint production of multiple pollutants and marketable output, we specify our technology using a directional distance function. This...

Assessing Short-run and Medium-run Fishing Capacity at the Industry Level and Its Reallocation

Creator:: Fare, Rolf, Grosskopf, Shawna, Kerstens, Kristiaan, Kirkley, James E., and Squires, Dale
Abstract:: Reducing harvesting capacity in fisheries is of international importance. In 1999, member nations of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) agreed to an International Plan of Action to reduce fishing capacity. Two initial concerns were the acceptance of a workable definition of capacity and the development of methods...

Creator:: Färe, Rolf, Grosskopf, Shawna, and Pasurka, Carl A., Jr.
Abstract:: With the advent of tradable permit programs for bad outputs (e.g., SO₂ emissions); concerns arose over whether the theoretical gains from trade would be realized. We will employ a methodology that calculates the potential gains accruing to coal-fired electric power plants from implementing a tradable permit program. The magnitude of...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA): A Framework for Assessing Capacity in Fisheries When Data are Limited

Creator:: Fare, Rolf, Grosskopf, Shawna, Kirkley, James L., and Squires, Dale
Abstract:: The Sustainable Fisheries Act (SFA) and Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries Management require restoration of fishery resources and a matching of capacity to desired resource levels. There is, thus, a need to reduce harvesting capacity throughout many of the fisheries of the world. Yet, even the term capacity is...

A Preliminary Ecosystem Assessment Model for Atlantic Sea Herring (Clupea Harengus): A General Equilibrium Framework

Creator:: Kirkley, James, Walden, John, and Färe, Rolf
Abstract:: Interest in ecosystem-based management or the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management has rapidly increased on a global basis. Most options for ecosystem-based management have emphasized some type of biological and natural conservation or non-use, and minimal attention has been given to assessing the social and economic ramifications of ecosystem-based management....
