Health Insurance Coverage and Commercial Fishing in North Carolina

Creator:: Crosson, Scott
Abstract:: Commercial fishing is generally hazardous, but some types of commercial fishing are more dangerous than other types. Since much of the fishing industry is composed of small family-owned businesses, commercial fishermen have to rely on the private health insurance markets, health insurance offered through a landside job, spouses’ plans, social...

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...

Focus! it's the consumer that counts: new perspectives on the role of consumers in aquaculture decision making

Creator:: Young, James A., Muir, James F., and Smith, Andrew P.
Abstract:: In developed country markets, the consideration of consumer wants has not been prominent hitherto in aquaculture production decisions. Like capture fisheries aquaculture has been product driven. This supply-side focus reflects an emphasis upon technical solutions to the production and capacity problems of high unit value (HUV) species culture. Whilst this...

The death rattle of open access and the advent of property rights regimes in fisheries

Creator:: Christy, Francis T.
Abstract:: In considering fisheries regulation in the next decade, I make a concluding point that may become a major theme. This is that individual permanent catch quotas of a regulator-determined TAC are only a stage in the development of management from licensing to private rights (Scott 1989). The condition of open...

Fisheries Rents: Theoretical Basis and an Example

Effects of Rights-Based Management on Processors' Supply: An Application to the Alaska Pollock Fishery

Abstract:: Economists have generated numerous studies analyzing how a move to rights-based fishery management from open-access management affects fish harvesters' behavior. Conversely, the impacts that such a change in management can have on fish processors has received relatively little attention.

Expanding New Zealand's Quota Management System

Creator:: Bess, Randall
Abstract:: This paper explores New Zealand’s experience with introducing species into the Quota Management System (QMS).
