This paper examines the relationship between causality models and cointegration models in testing for price integration and the Law of One Price (LOP). In our review, we show that cointegration models, which allow for nonstationarity in prices, are a natural extension of the traditional...

This paper discuss the relationship between traditional parametric tests for market integration such as causuality tests and tests of the Law of One Price and cointegration tests for market integration. We show that cointegration tests are a natural extension of the traditional methods taking...

The purpose of this paper is to test for price parity across different species of whitefish in the European Union. Price parity is defined by a system of cointegrated prices and would be evidence of a single European market for whitefish. Whitefish are of interest because EU fishers receive the...

This paper considers the effects of granting a fishermen's sales organization exclusive rights to sell unprocessed fish. On the assumption that the fishermen's monopolyis able to discriminate between plants and end use alternatives in its pricing policy, the conditions for profit maximization...

The catch of cod in Norway is processed into a variety of final products, most of which are exported. The main product categories are salted, dried and frozen products. Most processors have some choice as to which type of product to produce. Our hypothesis is that the choice of product type is...

Individual transferable quotas (ITQs) are primarily tools to achieve economic efficiency and do not amount to ownership of fish stocks. The 200 mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) went a long way to establish national jurisdiction over fish stocks, and without this ITQs would not have been...

Abstract It is pervasively argued that the equilibrium outcome for an open-access fishery in which harvesting cost is inversely related to fish stock is inefficient, with complete dissipation of within-season rents. However, some argue instead that within-season rents are maximised. Conditions...

The Stern Report seems optimistic about the cost of emissions reductions, and does not seriously face the fact that stabilizing the climate could require keeping much of the world in poverty, according to Rognvaldur Hannesson.

The failures of traditional target-species management have led many to propose an ecosystem approach to fisheries to promote sustainability. The ecosystem approach is necessary, especially to account for fisheryï¾–ecosystem interactions, but by itself is not sufficient to address two...
