Abstract
  • This paper estimates current resource rents being generated in the Icelandic cod fishery and compares them to the maximum sustainable attainable ones. For this purpose a simple aggregative model of the cod fishery is specified and empirically estimated. It is found that in spite of the cod stock being in a fairly depressed state, substantial economic rents are currently being generated in this fishery. No doubt this is primarily due to the effects of the ITQ system in this fishery. Current rents, however, are only about a third of the rents that would pertain in a profit maximizing sustainable position of this fishery. Thus, compared to the maximum, the Icelandic cod fishery appears to be subject to significant rents loss. Most of the rents gain from the current position of the fishery to the profit maximizing sustainable position is due to an increased cod stock. A much smaller part is due to reduced fishing effort.
