European fisheries activities are subject to a hierarchy of regulatory authorities. This raises questions regarding the implications of strategic interaction between different authority levels concerning the regulation of these activities. We apply a bio-economic objective function where fishers and regulators have environmental, economic and social preferences, and where fishers are...
By 2015 The European Common Fisheries Policy Reform includes a discard ban (landing obligation) in some fisheries and over the next few years all EU fisheries will be facing the discard ban restriction. This is one of the most significant changes of the Common Fishery Policy since 1983. In spite...
Substitution and elasticity give about the history of supply and the demand structure for fish and seafood. It is also relevant to the detection of change in a particular exploited marine ecosystem. The purpose of this paper is to test if market elasticity of substitution of seafood categories can further...
The credit crunch has had a dramatic effect within the seafood industry. Recent years saw a buoyant UK economy with increasing sales of chilled seafood material and a growing interest in sustainability. Credit tightening and declining consumer confidence has placed pressures on these trends. This is unlikely to be reversed...
There is a consensus in the scientific community that overexploitation of most fisheries worldwide has had significant negative effects on coastal marine ecosystems, and the majority of assessed fish stocks still require rebuilding programs. Almost all of the scientific studies conducted in recent decades have focused primarily on analysis related...
This study uses hedonic price approach to investigate how price of mussel is formed. The model uses 8896 observations (transactions) from auction market in Yeserke, the Netherland. The results show that product attributes such as meat content, size of the mussel, time and location of harvest are important information determining...
The growing global interest in traceability in supply chains has resulted in a variety of public policy and private sector initiatives in numerous countries. It is widely accepted in developed countries that whole chain traceability of food - from inputs, treatments, processing and packaging distribution and marketing - is absolutely...
The present study employs a cointegration method and error correction model to analyze the long-run relationship and short-run adjustment of aggregated seafood import demand function for selected Caribbean countries. The results show that there exists a long-term equilibrium relationship between Caribbean seafood import and related factors. Import demand elasticity is...
This study represents an attempt to estimate the effects of SPS measures in terms of trade elasticity of regulations
and competitiveness of exports. In spite of the generalized acknowledgment of growing liberalization of trade
between countries, there are still numerous obstacles to trade, more of the non-tariff type. This study...
Traditionally, little attention was paid to the market and how the different levels of the market chain
interact. However, recent price developments and the increase in the retail chains’ market share have
raised awareness on the food supply chain and possible market power situations in Europe. This paper
uses 2004-2009...
