Fisheries economics stand on the cusp of potentially sizeable changes in orientation and policy focus, leading in turn … to comparable changes in modeling and general analysis. Notably, fisheries are increasingly framed as part of the overall …

User rights in fisheries refer to the rights of fishers to harvest from fish resources. In terms of exclusivity … of the strength of user rights is needed. We refer to strong and weak user rights, and by strong user rights in fisheries … explain how this approach can be applied to analyze and score the quality of actual user rights in fisheries. This we do first …

The study provides empirical evidence that a targeted policy can backfire because information signals affect non-targeted units. Specifically, the analysis of the policy aimed at regulating the harvesting of juvenile fish in Peru's Anchovy Fishery, by temporarily closing areas with high juvenile...

Lake Victoria, globally the second-largest freshwater Lake by surface area, houses an artisanal Nile Perch Fishery that directly involves around 200K people. While the 10 whole Lake surface is potentially available to fishing activities, the fishing vessels' operational and technical...

This paper establishes that a targeted policy backfires because it reveals information about non-targeted units. In the world's largest fishery, the regulator attempts to reduce the harvesting of juvenile fish by temporarily closing areas where the share of juvenile catch is high. By combining...

We model a fishery with potential congestion; fishers obtain both public and private signals about the location where the fish stock is densest. We extend the literature by including both a larger parameter region and correlation between public and private signals. We analytically determine the...
