Resource Rent in Individual Quota Fisheries
研究了个人配额管理如何通过改变激励和可转让性来产生资源租金,并用成本函数方法测量了实际和潜在租金。
Traditional fisheries management schemes generate incentives for vessels to maximize catch, resulting in rent dissipation and overcapacity. Individual vessel quota management schemes change the incentives to maximize profit and have the potential to generate resource rent and reduce capacity. An interesting question is whether it is the changed incentives due to individual quota or the capacity reduction due to transferability of individual quota that is most important in generating rent. In this study, a cost function approach is used to model and measure rent generated and potential rent in a fishery managed with individual vessel quotas. <i></i>
