Abstract
Abstract This study examines the impact of land tenure systems on aquaculture farm productivity, efficiency, and profitability based on information obtained from interviews with 517 randomly selected aquaculture farms across Bangladesh. Propensity score matching (PSM) is used to estimate productivity variation, and the stochastic frontier production function (SFPF) is employed to analyze efficiency variation depending on aquaculture farms’ land ownership. The results reveal that the productivity and efficiency of cash tenant farms are significantly higher than those of self-owned farms, but that the land-owner extracts most of the associated profits through the rent. Furthermore, the efficiency of self-owned farms decreases with farm size, while the opposite is true for cash tenant farms.
期刊介绍：
Aquaculture Economics and Management is a peer-reviewed, international journal which aims to encourage the application of economic analysis to the management, modeling, and planning of aquaculture in public and private sectors. The journal publishes original, high quality papers related to all aspects of aquaculture economics and management including aquaculture production and farm management, innovation and technology adoption, processing and distribution, marketing, consumer behavior and pricing, international trade, policy analysis, and the role of aquaculture in food security, livelihoods, and environmental management. Papers are peer reviewed and evaluated for their scientific merits and contributions.
