Individual fishing quotas in the eastern Gulf of Mexicogrouper fishery: fleet restructuring, effort reduction andcost savings

Weninger, Quinn - Iowa State University of Science and Technology <Ames, … - 2008

This paper estimates a structural model of multiple-species harvesting costs in the easternGulf of Mexico reef fish fishery. The calibrated model is used to predict fleet size, vessellevelharvesting activity and fleet-wide revenues and costs that are expected under a proposedindividual fishing...

Less rationality, more efficiency : a laboratory experiment on "lemons" markets

Kirstein, Roland; Kirstein, Annette - 2005 - Version of October 2005

In this paper we experimentally test a theory of boundedly rational behavior in a "lemons market." We analyzed two different market designs, for which perfect rationality implies complete and partial market collapse, respectively. Our empirical observations deviate substantially from these...

Mason, Charles F.; Plantinga, Andrew J. - 2011

Governments contracting with private agents for the provision of an impure public good must contend with agents who would potentially supply the good absent any payments. This additionality problem is centrally important in the use of carbon offsets as part of climate change mitigation....

Modelling the economic impact of global warming in a general equilibrium framework

Kurtze, Christiane; Springer, Katrin - 1999

The issue of global warming has become a major topic in the international environmental debate. Alternative climate policy measures can be evaluated with the help of a simulation model that integrates economic and natural science considerations. A fully integrated assessment of the two-way...

Dynamic uncertainty and global warming risk

Bosello, Francesco; Moretto, Michele - 1999

When economic agents decide their optimal environmental behavior, they have to take into account non continuos evolutionary trends and irreversible changes characterising environmental phenomena. Given the still non perfect biophysical and economic knowledge, decisions have to be taken in an...
