Concerns about declining stock and profitability in the Tasmanian rock
lobster industry led to the introduction of individual transferable quota
(ITQ) management in 1998. In this study, fisher groups were categorised
by effort and quota ownership traits to examine response to revised
management, and how profit drivers moderated this change....
Development research and policy aim to improve household welfare by improving access to assets and economic opportunities (Besley & Burgess 2000; Deininger et al. 2003). In rural and agrarian contexts, these goals may be achieved by well-functioning markets for outputs, inputs, off-farm work, and credit. The status of these markets...
ITQ introduction has had several effects on fisheries in terms of, for
example, changes in the composition of the fishing fleet and fishing
efficiency gains. After ITQ introduction in the Tasmanian rock lobster
industry in 1998, an increasing number of fishers have become dependent
on quota leasing to catch fish...
Individual Transferable Quota (ITQ) systems have been used to control harvests and increase fisheries’ economic efficiency; however, they do not eliminate competitive fishing which can result in stock and congestion externalities that are especially apparent when resources are spatially heterogeneous within the controlled region of the ITQ system. These externalities...
If the spatial and temporal distribution of resources is not homogenous it creates an assignment problem. While the adoption of individual (or transferable) quota management in many commercial fisheries has resolved issues of over-appropriation, assignment problems may remain due to the spatial and temporal complexity of fisheries resources, which creates...
The purpose of this study was to unfold positions of migrating SBAE teachers to understand support and challenge to retain teachers in migratory contexts. Previous literature discusses problems related to teacher mobility as functions of teacher-student matching, teacher skill and effort, school environments, and advancing student learning. In an effort...
The essays in this collection do not cluster about a specific theme, nor do they present a single unified interpretative approach to issues in the history of American foreign policy. Above all, William Appleman Williams is a teacher. And good teachers are disappointed with conformity. No one would ever come...
This paper studies whether and under what circumstances, individual fishing decisions in aggregate match the maximum economic yield (MEY) or maximum sustainable yield (MSY) of a fishery. Under experimental economic conditions we provided participants a fleet of boats with a constant marginal cost and a non-linear revenue function. We explore...
The species-based approach currently implemented in Europe where catch limits (TAC) are set for each stock independently, is not adapted to the management of mixed fisheries that harvest various species. The economic efficiency of those fisheries is often constrained by the existence of « choke species » for which catch...
