Risk Aversion: Experimental Evidence from South African Fishing Communities

Brick, Kerri; Visser, Martine; Burns, Justine - Economic Research Southern Africa (ERSA) - 2011

indicates that risk attitudes have implications for non-compliance with fisheries regulation. Specifically, greater risk … female fishers with fishing rights are more likely to comply with fisheries regulation. These findings have important … implications for the characterisation of risk attitudes in fisheries policy applications and for the management of marine resources. …

Robust Control of a Spatially Distributed Commercial Fishery

Brock, William A.; Xepapadeas, Anastasios; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

We consider a robust control model for a spatially distributed commercial fishery under uncertainty, and in particular a tracking problem, i.e. the problem of robust stabilization of a chosen deterministic benchmark state in the presence of model uncertainty. The problem is expressed in the form...

An Experimental Analysis of Optimal Renewable Resource Management: The Fishery

Neugebauer, Tibor; Hey, John D.; Sadrieh, K - Luxembourg School of Finance, Faculté de droit, … - 2008

This paper experimentally studies the extraction decisions of a sole-owner ina fishery, the population dynamics of which behave according to the standard deterministic logistic growth model. Four treatments were implemented which differed in the level of information supplied to the experimental...

Are Commercial Fishers Risk-Lovers?

Eggert, Håkan; Martinsson, Peter - In: Land Economics 80 (2004) 4

Fishers are risk-averse according to most empirical studies, while expected-utility theory predicts risk neutrality even for sizable stakes. We test this prediction using data from a stated-choice experiment with Swedish commercial fishers. Our results show that only 48% of the fishers can be...

Do fishermen have different preferences?: Insights from an experimental study and household data

Nguyen, Quang - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009

We combine an artefactual field experiments and household survey data to investigate whether involvement in a unique occupation such as fishery makes the fishermen exhibit different risk and time preferences than those in other occupations. Using a structural model approach, we integrate...

Are Commercial Fishers Risk Lovers?

Eggert, Håkan; Martinsson, Peter - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2003

Empirical studies of fishers’ preferences have found that most fishers are risk-averse, while expected-utility theory predicts risk neutrality even for sizable stakes. We test this prediction using data from a stated choice experiment with Swedish commercial fishers. Our results show that...

Stochastic Production and Heterogeneous Risk Preferences: Commercial Fishers’ Gear Choices

Eggert, Håkan; Tveterås, Ragnar - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2001

As long as total effort cannot be completely controlled, a more thorough understanding of fishers’ supply response decisions will be beneficial for fishery managers. In this paper, we present a model of fishers’ gear choice, which is empirically estimated on a panel of Swedish demersal...
