Individual transferable quotas versus auctioned seasonal quotas , an experimental investigation
Fishery policies have largely developed in response to experienced problems. The last major change is the introduction of individual transferable quotas, ITQs. This seems to be a promising policy instrument compared to previous policies. Extrapolating from previous experiences, however, a further investigation of the ITQ system may reveal weakness of this instrument as well and may help improve...
متن کاملThe triple bottom line: Meeting ecological, economic and social goals with Individual Transferable Quotas
This paper deals with the sustainable management of a renewable resource based on individual and transferable quotas (ITQs) when agents differ in terms of harvesting costs or catchability. In a dynamic bio-economic model, we determine the conditions under which the manager of an ITQ system can achieve sustainability objectives which simultaneously account for stock renewal, economic efficiency ...
متن کاملIndividual transferable quotas and conservation: a critical assessment
Individual transferable quotas (ITQs) have become a popular management tool for fisheries. They have been promoted in some quarters and seriously criticized in others because of their social and economic impacts. A more serious problem is that ITQs provide exclusive access to public resources presumably in return for some public benefit, namely conservation; however, in a high percentage of cas...
متن کاملIndividual vs. Collective Quotas in Fisheries Management Under Uncertainty
Rights-based approaches (e.g., ITQs, TURFs, collectives/cooperatives) are increasingly popular throughout the world, but there is relatively little theoretical literature comparing individual vs. collective approaches. This paper presents a stylized model that allows for such a comparison in a context where there is harvest uncertainty (and hence the potential for risk sharing) as well as poten...
متن کاملA Guide to the Economic Evaluation of Individual Transferable Quota Fisheries
Detailed economic analyses of fisher performance are critical inputs in improving the management of fisheries. The paper provides guidelines about the economic methodologies and the data required to monitor and assess the performance of individual transferable quota fisheries. In particular, it describes the methods of evaluation that could be applied to examine profitability, competitiveness, ...
