摘要: An empirical analysis of production structure in the Norwegian fish-processing industry is undertaken, based on data for period 1985–90. This processes raw materials into fresh, frozen, salted and dried fish products. Two technologies coexist industry. Producer behaviour represented by a multi-output variable, or restricted cost function each technology. The hybrid translog functional form adopted estimation, as this can be evaluated even if some output values are zero. Results from provide important information restructuring currently taking place
