Abstract

Measure 2.3 of the European Fisheries Fund, in Sicily, claimed investments of fish firms in production capacity expansion and modernization of fish processing. Have these investments been effective in supporting the competitiveness of these firms and have they influenced the economic sustainability of the regional seafood chain? Proposed counterfactual analysis contributes to this assessment through a comparison of the business performance of funded and non-funded firms.
