The Implications of Environmental NGO Involvement in Fisheries Management
研究了环境非政府组织参与渔业管理并被官方认可后，如何影响原有监管，基于葡萄牙和西班牙沙丁鱼渔业数据校准模型。
What happens when an environmental NGO (ENGO) becomes involved in fisheries management, and its involvement is recognized by the managing authorities? The answer depends on the preferences and the measures of the ENGO. We use a bioeconomic objective function where fishers and regulator have ecological, economic, and social preferences, whereas the ENGO has only ecological preferences. Applying a Cournot model we analyze how the original regulation of the authorities is affected when an ENGO becomes involved. We use empirical data on fisheries stakeholder preferences and from the Portuguese and Spanish sardine purse seine fishery to calibrate and test the model. (<i>JEL Q22, Q28</i>)
