Abstract
  • In this paper efficiency gains and associated cost reductions from increases in quota leased or traded are estimated for the South East Trawl Fishery (SETF), using Australian Fisheries Management Authority logbook data and Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics survey data on 47 vessels in an unbalanced panel data set (of 131 observations) for the period 1997 to 2000. Estimated results indicate that increases in the volume of quota traded (either leased or sold, in tonnes of fish) have resulted in considerable efficiency gains and cost reductions in the SETF, ranging from 1.8 to 3.5 cents per kilogram for surveyed vessels for every one per cent increase in the volume of quota traded. Mean vessel efficiency levels also increased over the sample period with increases in quota traded.
