Abstract
  • A primal formulation has been used to estimate a translog production function that includes fishing effort and fisherman’s skill as production factors. The selected functional form permits the analysis of the substitution possibilities among production inputs composing effort by calculating the Allen elasticity of substitution. Particular attention is paid to the empirical validation of fishing effort as an aggregate input, which implies the acceptation of the joint hypothesis that inputs making up effort are weakly separable from the inputs out of the subgroup. Cross sectional data from the main fleet operating in the VIII Division European anchovy fishery have been selected to carry out the analysis. The choice of this fishery is directly linked to the regulation failure detected and the need to clarify different policy alternatives.
