Abstract
  • This paper studies the potential for cooperation in shared fisheries when the countries in the coalition act in a Stackelberg fashion with respect to the remaining singletons. An increase in the cooperation level is a social welfare improvement, leading to an increase in both the steady-state fish stock and total rent. We demonstrate that the outlook for cooperation is better within the Stackelberg fashion, where the coalition acts as a leader, than in the Cournot fashion. Self-financed transfers with commitments of the initial stable coalition will increase the level of cooperation. The theoretical findings are illustrated by a numerical example of how to reach stable full cooperation.
