Abstract

[fre] L’exploitation des ressources renouvelables est souvent réglementée par rationnement d’un facteur. L’inefficacité résultante est étudiée à l’aide d’une fonction de coût restreint représentant la technologie. La solution optimale exige que l’écart entre coût marginal et prix de la capture soit égal à la valeur adjointe de la ressource. La perte de revenu due à la restriction est estimée en comparant la solution optimale stationnaire avec le rationnement. L’application porte sur la coquille Saint-Jacques en baie de Saint-Brieuc. La ressource peut être exploitée de façon optimale et décentralisée par un système de Quotas Individuels Transférables (QIT). En effet, le prix d’équilibre des QIT est la valeur (adjointe) de la ressource en stock à l’optimum. [eng] The Regulated use of a Renewable Resource : the Inefficiency of Factor Rationing and the Efficiency of Individual Tradable Quotas . by Louis-Pascal Mahé and Carole Ropars . The use of renewable resources is often regulated factor rationing. The resulting inefficiency of this is studied using a cost function restricted to technology. The optimal solution calls for the deviation between marginal cost and catch price to be equal to the resource’s costate variable. The loss of income resulting from the restriction is estimated by comparing the optimal static solution with rationing. The case studied is scallops in the Saint-Brieuc bay. The resource can be used in an optimal and decentralised way by a system of Individual Tradeable Quotas (ITQs). The equilibrium price for the ITQs is the (associated) value of the total resource at optimum. . .
