  • Spatial Externalities and the Common Pool Resource Mechanism

    Creator:
    Schnier, Kurt
    Abstract:
    The optimal management of many common pool resources (CPRs) requires the establishment of optimal aggregate extraction rates as well as the spatial distribution of those extraction rates. The importance of these two components is readily evident in fisheries management where the spatial behavior of other agents often affects another agent's...

  • Can Efficient Bycatch Reduction be Achieved Through Information Provision? The Case of the Commercial Flatfish Fishery in the Bering Sea

    Creator:
    Schnier, Kurt and Haynie, Alan
    Abstract:
    Fisheries managers around the world have identified bycatch as a key management challenge in fisheries today. However, like the classic common property open-access problem in fisheries, a limit on fleet-wide bycatch may have similar consequences for fishing practices since bycatch is a common property open-access resource. If avoiding bycatch is...

  • Fixed Effect Estimation of Time-Varying Technical Efficiency

    Creator:
    Schnier, Kurt and Horrace, William
    Abstract:
    Within the fisheries literature there has been a growing interest in obtaining estimates of fisheries production in order to determine vessel specific measures of technical efficiency that may be used to estimate the capacity of the fleet. Given that many data sets are panels there has arisen a growing need...

  • Estimating Heterogeneous Primal Capacity and Capacity Utilization Measures in a Multi-Species Fishery

    Creator:
    Schnier, Kurt and Felthoven, Ronald
    Abstract:
    Efficient management of natural resources hinges on our ability to monitor and assess the status of the resource stocks as well as the actions and economic performance of the agents utilizing such resources. The sustainability and viability (both in physical and economic terms) of our resource management plans can in...

  • A Spatial Model of Dolphin Avoidance in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean

    Creator:
    Schnier, Kurt and Hicks, Robert
    Abstract:
    Eco-labeling has been touted as a way for consumer preferences for environmentally benign products to be transmitted in markets. The label, as the argument goes, provides information to consumers who may then pay a price premium for the labeled products. Producers view demand for the eco-labeled products as quality differentiated...

  • Individual Habitat Quotas for Fisheries

    Creator:
    Holland, Daniel S. and Schnier, Kurt E.
    Abstract:
    Fishery managers in the United States are required to identify and limit adverse consequences of fishing on essential fish habitat. We propose a cap-and-trade system for habitat conservation that would utilize economic incentives to achieve habitat conservation goals cost effectively. Individual quotas of habitat impact units (HIU) would be distributed...
