U.S. Demand for Selected Groundfish Products, 1967–80
分析了美国对加拿大和北大西洋底层鱼类的需求,发现收入和价格弹性异常,表明市场吸收预期渔获量增加的能力有限,除非改变营销安排,否则扩大渔业管辖权的收益将丧失。
Abstract The expansion of national fisheries jurisdiction to the two‐hundred‐mile limit enabled maritime nations to allocate increased shares of the fish catch off their shores to their own fishermen. The Atlantic groundfish catches of Canada and the United States are sold primarily on the American market. A Nerlovian inventory adjustment‐price expectations model is estimated for the American demand for groundfish. Income and price elasticities are perverse. The ability of the American market to absorb the increased anticipated catches are therefore limited, and benefits of extended fisheries jurisdiction will be lost unless marketing arrangements are substantially changed.
