Dynamic Modeling of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Fishery
通过模拟分析不同管理方案对墨西哥湾东部虾类渔业的影响，发现新法规和租金最大化方案能提高社会剩余，但不建议在局部区域单独实施。
Abstract The impact of alternative management schemes on the shrimp fishery of the eastern Gulf of Mexico is analyzed and compared to a baseline using simulation techniques. The fishery's biological and economic functions are modeled including intraseasonal shrimp growth rates, differences in demand for shrimp by size, and a heterogenous fishing fleet. Using consumer and producer surplus techniques, new fishing regulations appear socially optimal compared to the baseline. A rent‐maximization scheme increases social surplus to its highest level. However, applying such a scheme to one part of the total Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery is not recommended.
