Abstract
Individual fishing quotas give fishers incentives to reduce costs (or increase productivity), lengthen the harvest season and increase price by improving catch quality. To what extent each of these three effects will be present when the management system is changed in a specific fishery depends on the characteristics of the fishery and on themarkets and supply chains served. This paper uses a difference-in-differences approach to investigate the impact on all three outcomes of a regulatory change that introduced individual fishing quotas with some transferability foragroupofcoastal vessels in theNorwegianwhitefishfisheries. The results indicatehigherex-vessel prices after the regulatory change, which imply higher quality of the fish landed, but show no significant extension of the fishing season or reduction of the average cost.
期刊介绍:
Marine Resource Economics (MRE) publishes creative and scholarly economic analyses of a range of issues related to natural resource use in the global marine environment. The scope of the journal includes conceptual and empirical investigations aimed at addressing real-world oceans and coastal policy problems. Examples include studies of fisheries, aquaculture, seafood marketing and trade, marine biodiversity, marine and coastal recreation, marine pollution, offshore oil and gas, seabed mining, renewable ocean energy sources, marine transportation, coastal land use and climate adaptation, and management of estuaries and watersheds.
