This study considers a cross sectional data of 210 farms to analyze the technical efficiency levels of intensive and semi-intensive fish farms in Ghana using the meta-frontier approach. This technique takes into consideration farms that operate under different technologies. It estimates technology gap that measures output from the frontier production...
This study applies the single-stage modelling stochastic frontier approach to assess the performance of fish farms in Ghana. It examines technical efficiency and its determinants of 150 farms surveyed in 2007 and extend the scope of the analysis to explore interactive effects of farm specific variables on efficiency of production....
Ghana's coast is identified with artisanal fishers who use wooden carved canoes and traditional fishing gears. However, little study has been conducted to assess the performance of this industry in terms of its efficiency. This study aims to analyse the technical efficiency and its determinants of the artisanal fishers in...
This study uses cross-sectional data collected from 320 fish farmers across four fish farming regions (Greater Accra, Volta, Ashanti and Western) in Ghana to evaluate the impact of Fish Farmers' Associations on their technical efficiency levels and yield. We considered the stochastic frontier technique to analyse the technical efficiency levels...
This paper considers social wellbeing in the context of three dimensions; material conditions, quality of life, and sustainability dimensions to explore the key factors that affect the wellbeing of fishers in the Western Region of Ghana using 119 respondents. The study first considers descriptive analysis to assess the correlation between...
