Data generating processes for trip-level commercial fishing data feature endogenous targeting of individual fish species and spatially, temporally varying stock conditions that are unobserved by the researcher but partially observed by fishermen. We present a model and identification strategy to address serious challenges that arise in this setting for obtaining...
Detailed economic analyses of fisher performance are critical inputs in improving the management of fisheries. The paper provides guidelines about the economic methodologies and the data required to monitor and assess the performance of individual transferable quota fisheries. In particular, it describes the methods of evaluation that could be applied...
