Abstract:: This paper analyzes spatial patterns of exploitation in the California sea urchin fishery using two different econometric approaches: a Poisson/SUR model of monthly observations and a micro-level Nested Logit model of individual harvester daily decisions. Each model is used to simulate the spatial distribution of fishing effort. The models are...

Abstract:: In marine resource management, spatial policy instruments, including Marine Protected Areas, are becoming increasingly important. The economic motivation for spatially explicit policy is that renewable resources generate, in addition to the conventionally recognized incentives to over-harvest in the face of insecure property rights, spatial externalities that distort the spatial distribution...

Abstract:: Australian governments spend millions of dollars each year on pre-border, border and post-border biosecurity programs. The majority of these programs are resourced through existing deeds of agreement, but some currently fall outside of these funding frameworks. Frameworks not based on economic principles have the potential to deliver sub-optimal outcomes with...

Creator:: Smith, Martin D. and Gopalakrishnan, Sathya
Abstract:: Economists have long promoted fishery rationalization programs, but ITQs may fail to address the ecological consequences of fishing. Of particular concern is that economic incentives to harvest larger fish (due to size-dependent pricing or quota-induced discarding) can destabilize fish populations or lead to evolutionary changes. A substantial theoretical literature in...

Creator:: Zhang, Junjie and Smith, Martin D.
Abstract:: This paper proposes a two-stage method to estimate a generalized Gordon-Schaefer model, using heterogeneous fishing data in the logbook. A Cobb-Douglas production function is consistently estimated in the first stage by means of the ‘within period estimator’. A stock index is constructed and used to estimate the logistic growth model...

Abstract:: We develop a model of a multinational firm producing commodities for a global market in multiple locations with location-specific risks and different regulatory standards. Salmon aquaculture and disease outbreaks provide an empirically relevant example. We specifically examine details of the infectious salmon anemia outbreak in Chile in the late 2000s,...

Abstract:: Scarcity of wild-caught seafood has incentivized innovation and growth in aquaculture, especially for species that compete directly with wild alternatives. In the global tuna industry, the most pronounced scarcity is associated with bluefin tuna species (Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern, which serve similar markets). Supply-side factors including overfishing and governance challenges...

Abstract:: This paper analyzes optimal fishery management in the presence of an endangered predator that competes with humans for a commercially viable prey. Because traditional predator controls are not possible when the predator is endangered, we focus on harvest effort controls over the prey’s habitat as a means to maintain the...

Abstract:: In this paper, we consider the transfer of environmental and cultural assets to the next generation as a potential measure of sustainability. We define net assets as the value of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources plus human-made, intellectual, social, and cultural capital, minus any debts. We apply this approach by...
