  • The Regulatory Effect on Productivity Development: Comparison of Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish Fisheries

    Creator:
    Eggert, Hakan and Tveteras, Ragnar
    Abstract:
    Several factors contribute to the productivity of nations' fisheries: (1) The biophysical conditions that determine the abundance of fish stocks, (2) government regulation of fisheries, and (3) innovation and adoption of (i.e. investments in) new fishing technologies. This paper analyzes the long-run productivity performance of three Nordic countries Iceland, Norway...

  • Modeling Demand for Fishmeal Using a Heterogeneous Estimor for Panel Data

    Creator:
    Tveterås, Ragnar, Tveterås, Sigbjørn, and Sissener, Elin H.
    Abstract:
    Increased livestock and aquaculture production can put pressure on the fishmeal market, and thus industrial fisheries stocks, since both of these sectors use fishmeal in their feeds. Data indicate that fishmeal supply has reached a production limit due to limited marine resources. Meanwhile there has been an explosive growth in...

  • Structural Changes in Russian Seafood Consumption: An Econometric Analysis of Regional Herring Product Demand

    Creator:
    Lien, Kristin, Tveterås, Ragnar, and Tveterås, Sigbjørn
    Abstract:
    Russia is experiencing deep structural changes in many areas. For the seafood industry important developments are large increases in household incomes, development of modern super- and hypermarket distribution channels, and product innovations. In the seafood category consumers are adopting new species and new product forms at a rapid rate. Herring...

  • Aggregation Level and Prediction of Fishing Vessel Behavior and Productivity

    Creator:
    Asche, Frank, Eggert, Hakan, and Tveteras, Ragnar
    Abstract:
    Fishing overcapacity has lead to unsustainable harvesting and rent dissipation in global fisheries. Only government intervention of some kind can lead to a reduction in capacity. If efficiency is the primary objective for the regulator, then the least efficient vessels should be decommissioned. Here we analyze the Swedish fishery using...

  • Global Warming and Fisheries: Thoughts on a Sensible Response

    Creator:
    Arnason, Ragnar
    Abstract:
    Atmospheric measurements show that so-called greenhouse gases have been accumulating in the Earth’s atmosphere for well over a century. There are strong indications that human activity plays a significant role in this process. One consequence of the accumulation of greenhouse gases is thought to be an increase in global temperatures...

  • Fisheries Enforcement: Basic Theory

    Creator:
    Arnason, Ragnar
    Abstract:
    If fisheries management is supposed to affect behaviour, it has to be enforced. Fisheries enforcement has generally been found to be quite costly compared to the attainable rents from the fishery. This has a number of important implications. First, obviously, it is economically important to operate the enforcement activity at...

  • Community Fishing Rights: Some Basic Principles

    Creator:
    Arnason, Ragnar
    Abstract:
    It is now widely recognized that property rights based fisheries management regimes are well suited for generating efficiency in fisheries. Apart from access licences, which are very low quality property rights, individual quotas (IQs) and individual transferable quotas (ITQs) are the most widely applicable and, indeed, the most commonly applied...

  • Fisheries Rents: Theoretical Basis and an Example

    Creator:
    Arnason, Ragnar
    Abstract:
    The concept of natural resource rents is much used in the natural resource and fisheries economics literature. It is therefore somewhat surprising that in this same literature it is difficult to find a clear definition of either natural resource rents or fisheries rents. Possibly, as a result, the concept is...

  • On the Economic Distortion of Pure Resource Rent Taxation

    Creator:
    Arnason, Ragnar
    Abstract:
    It is often taken for granted that taxation of rents is economically nondistortive. In certain areas of natural resource use, e.g. oil extraction and fisheries, this nondistortion principle has been used to justify taxation of what is regarded as resource rents. This paper challenges the view that such taxation is...

  • Optimal Dynamic Enforcement of A Fishery

    Creator:
    Arnason, Ragnar
    Abstract:
    It has been established that the path of a fishery over time, i.e. stocks, fleets, effort and profits, depends inter alia on the enforcement of the fisheries management rules in place. It has further been established that optimal enforcement of fisheries management rules depends inter alia on the shadow value...
