DUKE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY ECONOMICS WORKING PAPER SERIES organized by the NICHOLAS INSTITUTE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY SOLUTIONS and the DUKE UNIVERSITY ENERGY INITIATIVE Spillovers in Regional Fisheries Management: Do Catch Shares Cause Leakage?
نویسندگان
چکیده
United States fisheries are managed by regional councils. Fishermen can participate in fisheries managed by multiple councils, and effort controls in one region could lead to effort leakage into another. Using difference-in-differences, we test for leakage across regional fisheries boundaries for a catch share program in New England. We find evidence that the New England groundfish sector program caused leakage into adjacent Mid-Atlantic fisheries. Aggregate Mid-Atlantic harvest volume and landed values increased among sector members after the policy change. Leakage is most acute in fisheries with low institutional barriers, similar gear, and high market substitutability with sector species. JEL Codes: Q22, Q28, H73

Because emissions from solid fuel burning in traditional stoves impacts global climate change, the regional environment, and household health, there is today a real fascination with improved cook stoves (ICS). Nonetheless, surprisingly little is known about what households like about these energy products. We report on preferences for ICS attributes in a large sample of 2,120 rural households i...

Lack of information is commonly cited as a market failure resulting in an energyefficiency gap. Government information policies to fill this gap may enable improvements in energy efficiency and social welfare because of the externalities of energy use. The U.S. Department of Energy Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) program is one such policy intervention, providing no-cost assessments to small...

1 The emergence of ecosystem-based management suggests that traditional fisheries man2 agement and protection of environmental quality are increasingly interrelated. Fishery 3 managers, however, have limited control over most sources of marine and estuarine pol4 lution and at best can only adapt to environmental conditions. We develop a bioeconomic 5 model of optimal harvest of an annual specie...
