Spatial Competition In Overlapping Seasonal Fisheries: A Bioeconomic Model Of Fishermen And Regulators

Author

  • Abbott, Joshua K.

Abstract

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.
