The steadily accumulating literature on technical efficiency in fisheries attests to the importance of efficiency as an indicator of fleet condition and as an object of management concern. In this paper, we extend previous work by presenting a Bayesian hierarchical approach that yields both efficiency estimates and, as a byproduct of the estimation algorithm, probabilistic rankings of the relative technical efficiencies of fishing boats. The estimation algorithm is based on recent advances in Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods— Gibbs sampling, in particular—which have not been widely used in fisheries economics. We apply the method to a sample of 10,865 boat trips in the US Pacific hake (or whiting) fishery during 1987–2003. We uncover systematic differences between efficiency rankings based on sample mean efficiency estimates and those that exploit the full posterior distributions of boat efficiencies to estimate the probability that a given boat has the highest true mean efficiency.

La sélection opérée par les rubriques et les enluminures, formes contraintes qui échappent dans une certaine mesure à la linéarité du développement textuel, détermine la réception de l'œuvre. Les manuscrits comprenant des miniatures synthétiques (comme celles qui représentent l'enfance de Merlin) ou des séries iconographiques (comme celles qui rendent compte des amours d'Uterpandragon et Ygerne et de leurs conséquences) présentent donc un caractère exceptionnel, orientant la lecture du texte et son interprétation.
