Transboundary Fisheries Management under Implementation Uncertainty
Laukkanen, Marita - 2003
This paper examines how non-binding co-operative agreements on marine fisheries management can be sustained when management plans in participating countries are implemented with error. The effects of implementation uncertainty on voluntary co-operation are compared to those of recruitment...

The economics of a "mixed blessing" effect: A case study of the Black Sea
Knowler, Duncan; Barbier, Edward B. - 2002
Nutrient enrichment of marine ecosystems is regarded as a pressing global environmental problem. For certain marine species it may be a mixed blessing, resulting in damaging ecosystem events, but contributing to primary productivity. Consequently, the impact of enrichment on fishery profits may...

Robustness of Sharing Rules under Climate Change - The Case of International Fisheries Agreements
Brandt, Urs Steiner; Kronbak, Lone Grønbæk - 2006
Many international fisheries agreements involve sharing rules. The current pa-per analysis the stability of sharing rules when coping with long run changes in the composition of fish stocks in an international setting due to climate change. The exploitation of the cod stock in the Baltic Sea...

An Enforcement-Coalition Model: Fishermen and Authorities forming Coalitions
Kronbak, Lone Grønbæk; Lindroos, Marko - 2003
The paper sets up a four-stage enforcement model of fish quotas. The purpose of the paper is to show how the level of enforcement set by the authorities af-fects the way fishermen form coalitions. We show that a high level of control effort yields less cooperation among fishermen, while in the...

The Effect of Climate Change on the Probability of Conservation: Fisheries Regulation as a Policy Contest
Brandt, Urs Steiner - 2006
This paper considers the policy outcome of a contest between two opposing in-terest groups: the incumbent fishermen and a group of conservationalists. The objective of the fishermen is to maximize profit, and they are (partly) concerned over future profitability as well, while the...

The effects of pollution on open access fisheries: A case study of the Black Sea
Knowler, Duncan; Barbier, Edward B.; Strand, Ivar E. - 1997
paper, we assess the non-efficiency benefits of improving environmental quality in the presence of such linkages …, recognising that efficiency benefits may not be significant under the circumstances describing many open access fisheries. We use … equilibrium of the system. Ultimately, for substantial efficiency benefits to arise from addressing the nutrient enrichment …

Cooperative bargaining to internalise open access externalities: Implications of the American fisheries act
Matulich, Scott C.; Sever, Murat; Inaba, Fred - 2000
The United States Congress recently passed a law that creates an alternative to individual transferable quota (ITQ) management. The American Fisheries Act promises the ability to rationalise one of the world's largest fisheries, the North Pacific pollock fishery, without the overt appearance of...

Stochastic games with endogenous transitions
Joosten, Reinoud; Meijboom, Robin - 2010
We introduce a stochastic game in which transition probabilities depend on the history of the play, i.e., the players' past action choices. To solve this new type of game under the limiting average reward criterion, we determine the set of jointly-convergent pure-strategy rewards which can be...

Social dilemmas, time preferences and technology adoption in a commons problem
Joosten, Reinoud - 2011
Agents interacting on a body of water choose between technologies to catch fish. One is harmless to the resource, as it allows full recovery; the other yields high immediate catches, but low(er) future catches. Strategic interaction in one objective resource game may induce subjective games in...
