Nash Equilibria in a Coalition Game of the Norwegian Spring-spawning Herring Fishery
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to study the coalition game between the potential fishing nations of Norwegian spring-spawning herring. We study a three-player cooperative game using Shapley value and nucleolus as solution concepts. We show that full cooperation between all fishing nations is not stable when the fishing fleets have a high-catchability coefficient. Further, the potential new members of the regional fisheries management organization do not have an incentive to join in this case. However, the case of lower catchability coefficient of the fleets gives opposite results, providing us with more promising expectations for cooperation.

Characteristics of the Norwegian Coastal Current during Years with High Recruitment of Norwegian Spring Spawning Herring (Clupea harengus L.)
Norwegian Spring Spawning herring (NSSH) Clupea harengus L. spawn on coastal banks along the west coast of Norway. The larvae are generally transported northward in the Norwegian Coastal Current (NCC) with many individuals utilizing nursery grounds in the Barents Sea. The recruitment to this stock is highly variable with a few years having exceptionally good recruitment. The principal causes of...

We examine the coalition-proof equilibria of a participation game in a public good mechanism and study which Nash equilibria are achieved through the cooperative behavior of agents. The participation game may have multiple Nash equilibria, and various numbers of participants may be attained at the Nash equilibria. We provide sufficient conditions for the Nash equilibrium of the participation ga...
