This paper tests the existence of asymmetric price transmission between first-wholesale and ex-vessel markets in the Alaska shoreside pollock fishery. The theory of derived demand implies that price changes should be transmitted through different levels of the supply chain. This suggests a cointegrating relationship between prices at the first-wholesale (the...

This research develops a method for estimating discreet changes (shocks) to total factor productivity (TFP) using catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) and biological stock assessment data. An estimator for identifying jumps in realized volatility is adapted to the identification and estimation productivity shocks. The estimator is tested through simulation and in an application...
Amendment 80 of the Bering & Sea Aleutian Island Groundfish Fisheries Management Plan instituted groundfish retention standards (GRS) with the goal of reducing discards, which had been historically high for a particular fleet. The GRS continue to be a subject of regulatory attention as recent discard levels are markedly below...
