Big Fish in Thin Markets : Competing with the Middlemen to Increase Market Access in the Amazon

Bartkus, Viva Ona; Brooks, Wyatt; Kaboski, Joseph Paul; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

Middlemen are ubiquitous in supply chains. In developing countries they help bring products from remote communities to end markets but may exert strong market power. We study a cooperative intervention which organizes together poor fishing communities in the Amazon -- one of the poorest and most...

Overcoming the common pool problem through voluntary cooperation : the rise and fall of a fishery cooperative

Deacon, Robert T. - 2010

We analyze a seldom used, but highly promising form of rights-based management over common pool resources that involves the self-selection of heterogeneous fishermen into sectors. The fishery management regime assigns one portion of an overall catch quota to a voluntary cooperative, with the...

Efficiency Advantages of Grandfathering in Rights-Based Fisheries Management

Anderson, Terry L. - 2010

We show that grandfathering fishing rights to local users or recognizing first possessions is more dynamically efficient than auctions of such rights. It is often argued that auctions allocate rights to the highest-valued users and thereby maximize resource rents. We counter that rents are not...

Estimating the Spatial Amplification of Damage Caused by Degradation in the Amazon

Araujo, Rafael; Assunção, Juliano J.; Hirota, Marina; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

The Amazon rainforests have been undergoing unprecedented levels of human-induced disturbances. In addition to local impacts, such changes are likely to cascade following the eastern-western atmospheric flow generated by trade winds. We propose a model of spatial and temporal interactions...

Optimal Environmental Targeting in the Amazon Rainforest

Assunção, Juliano - 2019

This paper sets out an empirically-driven approach for targeting environmental policies optimally in order to combat deforestation. We focus on the Amazon, the world's most extensive rainforest, where Brazil's federal government issued a 'Priority List' of municipalities in 2008, to be targeted...

Tropical Forests, Tipping Points, and the Social Cost of Deforestation

Franklin, Sergio L, Jr - 2017

Recent work has suggested that tropical forest and savanna represent alternative stable states, which are subject to drastic switches at tipping points, in response to changes in rainfall patterns and other drivers. Deforestation cost studies have ignored the likelihood and possible economic...

The Valuation of Fisheries Rights : A Real Options Approach

Pizarro, Jose - 2018

Fisheries. The model includes two sources of uncertainty: the resource biomass and the price of fish, and it can be used by … fisheries to optimally adapt their harvesting strategy to changing conditions in these stochastic variables. The model also … features realistic operational cash flows and fisheries can shutdown and reopen operations. Using publicly available data on …
