Abstract
  • This paper analyzes the equity consequences of different fishing quota distributions among artisanal fisher organizations. We develop a basic model to analyze optimal decisions with a collective fishing rights system. With this model as a conceptual framework, using a Theil index as a distributive measure, and employing optimization techniques we calculate the differences that arise in the distribution of income and landings with different quota assignment rules: efficient quotas (within the organization), individual quotas, and initial allocation based on historical assignments (with no transferability). The model is based on the common sardine and anchovies artisanal fisheries of central – southern Chile. The analysis of the results allows discussing and comparing the equity implications of these three allocation systems.
