Abstract
  • In this paper, a dynamic model of fishermen’s compliance is developed and used to analyse several issues. There are two parties involved in the fishery; the regulator and the fishermen. Regulator takes on a long term view and sets quota at the beginning of every period in order to maximise an objective function. Fishermen act on a period to period basis, seeking to maximise welfare within every period. In addition to buying a quota and legally harvest the quota quantity, they have the possibility to harvest illegally in excess of quotas. I introduce non-monetary moral costs of illegal harvesting that varies across the population of fishermen. The first part of the paper analyse optimal fisherman behaviour, in terms of compliance and quota purchase. In the second part, I use these results to analyse the dynamics of the fishery.
