Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 20(3): 373-391.
Technical efficiency of rural water utilities is determined using
frontier production functions. An indirect production function is developed
to model the two-step production process of a local government controlled
firm. Data from 26 rural Nevada water utilities are used to estimate
inefficiency in terms of firm specific variables. A multi step estimation
procedure is used instead of single step maximum likelihood estimation. Model
selection tests are used to choose the best model. Privately owned utilities
are most efficient; self-governing water districts are the least efficient.
Municipal governments operate the most and least efficient utilities.

In 1983, the European Community agreed on a management and conservation
regime for fisheries resources by adopting the EEC regulation n o 170/83. This
has been one of the main text of the Common Fisheries Policy for ten years.
It gave a major place to Total Allowable Catch (TAC) by stock or by group of
stock.
After ten years of implementation of this regime, the European
Commission admitted that it had some large insufficiencies (ECC, 1991). The
EEC regulation n o 3760/92, which has replaced the EEC regulation n o 170/83
since the end of 1992, put some stress on other management instruments, e.g.
licenses, and on the possibility of using TACs by fishery or over several
years. Nevertheless, the annual TAC by stock appears to still have a future
and it seems interesting to look at data in the debate on their performance.
