It is fitting for the theme of IIFET 2000 “Microbehavior and Macroresults” that some of the smallest life forms on planet Earth (caliciviruses measuring 36 nanometers in diameter), which replicate only inside the living cells of their hosts, be examined. From their beginnings in this microscopic ecologic niche where they...
This study documented the historical perspective of lake fisheries in Kashmir, India, estimated the trends in fish production using the Kane’s cross impact analysis and the stakeholders’ willingness to pay for the restoration of Schizothorax fishery in the lakes of Kashmir. The cross impacts of introduction of carps in the...

In this paper, we analyze how public monitoring and enforcement (M\&E) efforts affect the success of a collective property right. We develop a bioeconomic model to generate several theoretical predictions, which we test empirically by assembling and analyzing novel data on public patrolling and fishing activity in the Chilean abalone...
The recent establishment of the Galápagos Marine Reserve (GMR) presents a unique opportunity to analyze the economic implications of using zonification as a tool to manage conflicting claims to a fragile and limited resource. Recognizing that the long-term success of the GMR depends on the cooperation of all of the...
