Strategic Joint Production Under Common-Pool Output Quotas: The Case of Fisheries Bycatch
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Abbott,   Joshua K.; Wilen,   James E.
We develop a simple game-theoretic model to explain the production decisions of firms when the production of a marketed good is complementary with the output of an associated good for which no market is available and the output of both goods is regulated by exogenously determined common pool output quotas.  This scenario matches that of many fisheries in which regulators attempt to simultaneously manage harvests of targeted species and bycatch of other species through common pool quotas and seasonal closures.  Under a competitive equilibrium, individual fishermen fail to fully account for the external effects of their harvest decisions on the season length, leading to excessive discards, drastically shortened seasons, and large shares of un-harvested quota...

THE VALUE OF WATER AS AN URBAN CLUB GOOD: A MATCHING APPROACH TO HOA-PROVIDED LAKES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Abbott,   Joshua K.; Klaiber,   H. Allen.
Urban lakes located in arid environments require large quantities of water to maintain their water levels, with much of this water associated with high opportunity costs. Many of these lakes are manmade and provide various amenities to surrounding residents. In this paper we use matching techniques to recover the average capitalized value of lakes to surrounding communities and differentiate between community members and adjacent households to recover heterogeneous treatment effects. Importantly, we consider the role of both unobservable and observable features of matching to recover heterogeneous capitalization across lake communities. Our results suggest that the capitalized value of lakes to community residents is highly heterogeneous and ranges from an...

SPATIAL COMPETITION IN OVERLAPPING SEASONAL FISHERIES: A BIOECONOMIC MODEL OF FISHERMEN AND REGULATORS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Abbott,   Joshua K.
This paper develops a single-season dynamic game between fishermen and regulators.  Fishermen maximize the NPV of profits by their location choice in a system with congestion, adjustment costs, and adaptive, quota-driven, site closures.  Simulation results reveal feedbacks between site-choice and closure decisions and suggest the usefulness of spatial policy instruments in reducing congestion externalities and costly congestion-averting expenditures.

Rent Dissipation in Chartered Recreational Fishing: Inside the Black Box
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Abbott,   Joshua K.; Wilen,   James E.
A canvass of the resource economics literature of the last thirty years yields a limited number of applications of economic theory to the problems of recreational fishing, especially compared to the depth of contributions to commercial fisheries over this era. This neglect may be linked to the relatively short shrift given to the control of recreational fisheries (relative to commercial fisheries) by fisheries managers in the past. This asymmetry may be justified when recreational takes are sufficiently small to be negligible for the purposes of stock management. However, it has become increasingly clear that recreational mortality, far from being insignificant, is often comparable to or greater than the commercial mortality for many species (Coleman, et...

The Value of Water Rights in Agricultural Properties in the Phoenix Active Management Area
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yoo,   James; Perrings,   Charles; Kinzig,   Ann; Abbott,   Joshua K.; Simonit,   Silvio; Connors,   John P.; Maliszewski,   Paul J.
This paper estimates the value of water rights in the Phoenix Active Management Area (AMA), Arizona. Within AMAs groundwater rights cannot be transferred separately from the agricultural land to which they apply. As a result there is no separate market for ground water rights. The lack of a market creates two problems: there is no direct signal of the scarcity of water and no mechanism for reallocating water from low-to-high value uses. Water can only be reallocated by changing land use. With the growth of metropolitan Phoenix the value of water committed to residential, commercial or industrial use has increased rapidly relative to the value of water committed to agriculture. This has led to the reallocation of land from agriculture to urban uses. To...
