  • Five Stages in the Evolution of the Market-Oriented Fishery

    Creator:
    Scott, Anthony
    Abstract:
    This historical survey sweeps across a thousand years, divided into five very unequal stages. Over most of the stages property in tide-water fisheries was lost. Fishers lost control of the fishstock and of the markets they served. Governments responded with fishing regulations, which have served as a basis for regaining...

  • Simulation Model Evaluation of Some Fisheries Balance Indicators

    Creator:
    Sampson, David and Scott, Robert
    Abstract:
    Chronic overcapacity has been identified as a major cause of the overfishing of Europe’s fish stocks and the poor economic performance of the European fishing fleets. Mechanisms are needed to ensure that the capacity of European fishing fleets remain proportionate to available fish stocks. To that end, the European Commission...

  • Thin Wholesale Markets and Direct Marketing in Renewable Resource Exploitation

    Creator:
    Kennedy, Chris J. and Scott, Steve
    Abstract:
    The ex-vessel supply chain for fisheries has been recognized as an important determinant of value generation. In recent years, as the retail demand for fresh seafood products has increased, many independent fishermen have bypassed thin, monopsonized, or otherwise inferior wholesale markets by engaging in implicit or explicit fixed-output contracts with...

  • Economic Analysis of New Zealand's Deemed Value System

    Creator:
    Walker, Scott and Townsend, Ralph
    Abstract:
    In 2001, New Zealand modified its quota management system (QMS) to function as a hybrid ITQ/tax system. Catches in excess of annual catch entitlements (ACE) incur payments, called “deemed values”. The deemed value system was part of the reforms that separated ACE from quota, which reduced transactions costs for both...

  • Do conventional prescriptions of the rights-based fishing literature pose legal and political impediments to policy change?

    Creator:
    Matulich, Scott C. and Macdonald, Jim
    Abstract:
    A serious impediment blocks advancement of individual transferable quota (ITQ) policy in the United States, particularly in North Pacific fisheries being considered for ITQ management. The traditional ITQ design, that allocates rights to only the harvesting sector, unintentionally expropriates wealth/property interests from the co-dependent-processing sector. This regulatory expropriation is a...

  • An Efficient and Distributionally Neutral IFQ Design

    Creator:
    Zhang, Xingguo, Matulich, Scott C., and Inaba, Fred
    Abstract:
    A two-stage, distributionally neutral and efficient rationalization policy design—one that preserves the ex ante wealth distribution—is developed by blending elements of a cooperative and a partnership. It is formally proven that there is no impediment to win-win rationalization using only IFQs allocated only to harvesters. The design creates a bilateral...

  • Policy-induced Market Failure Under the American Fisheries Act

    Creator:
    Matulich, Scott C., Inaba, Fred, and Sever, Murat
    Abstract:
    This paper explores the political economy of using fishery cooperatives to advance voluntary decapitalization and rationalization that the U. S. Congress intended to benefit both vessels and processors. Game theory offers insights into the likelihood of achieving congressional intent. It is argued that the American Fisheries Act introduces a potential...

  • The Economic Importance of Marine Angler Expenditures in the United States; Selected Results

    Creator:
    Gentner, Brad, Steinback, Scott, and Castle, Jeremy
    Abstract:
    In 1998, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) launched a series of marine recreational angler expenditure survey in the Northeast (NE) management region (Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia). This series was extended to the Southeast (SE) management region (North Carolina,...

  • Can Government Financial Transfers Ever Lead to Responsible Fishing? A (New) Trade Theory Parable

    Creator:
    Wilson, James R.
    Abstract:
    Recent literature on trade in fisheries products and in factors of production for fishing can be used to ask when it might be welfare increasing to encourage government financial transfers (GFTs) in the fisheries. Using numerical techniques and assuming a small open one factor 2 good economy with production inefficiencies...

  • Conservation for Sale: A Dynamic Common Agency Model of Natural Resource Regulation

    Creator:
    Boyce, John R.
    Abstract:
    This paper considers the regulation of a natural resource within a dynamic common agency framework. In setting harvest quotas, the regulator responds to lobbying pressure (contributions) from harvesters and conservationists. The truthful Markov perfect equilibrium stock is then an increasing function of the effective political weight for conservationists. Since the...
