Bioeconomic models of fisheries usually do not provide details of fishermen's short-run behavior. This paper develops a model for the short-run selection of fishing location by a profit-maximizing fisherman in an open-access fishery given that fish density increases further from port and given...

This paper analyses whether scale economies exists in the UK telecommunications industry. The approach employed differs from other UK studies in that panel data for a range of companies is used. This increases the number of observations and thus allows potentially for more robust tests for...

The twofold aim of this article is to model the structure of the Norwegian food farming industry for trout and salmon and to provide estimates for the scale elasticity and substitution possibilities. A translog functional form of the long run cost function is specified and estimated. The...

Hypergeometric functions are a generalization of exponential functions. They are explicit, computable functions that can also be manipulated analytically. The functions and series we use in quantitative economics are all special cases of them. In this paper, a unified approach to hypergeometric...
