Information Sharing and Cooperative Search in Fisheries
Evans, Keith; Weninger, Quinn - Iowa State University of Science and Technology <Ames, … - 2010
This paper studies equilibrium search and learning in a dynamic shing gamethat is played by independent shermen and by members of an information sharingCooperative. Once collected, information about the location of productive sh-ing sites is an excludable public good. We show that independent...

Fishing Behavior Across Space and Time
Veyssiere, Luc Pierre; Weninger, Quinn - Iowa State University of Science and Technology <Ames, … - 2009
Models of fishing behavior rarely incorporate the complexities of marine ecosystems,multiple-stock harvest technologies, and regulations present in real world marinefisheries. We introduce a structural model of a multi-species, weak-output-disposabilityharvest technology. A latent...

Individual fishing quotas in the eastern Gulf of Mexicogrouper fishery: fleet restructuring, effort reduction andcost savings
Weninger, Quinn - Iowa State University of Science and Technology <Ames, … - 2008
This paper estimates a structural model of multiple-species harvesting costs in the easternGulf of Mexico reef fish fishery. The calibrated model is used to predict fleet size, vessellevelharvesting activity and fleet-wide revenues and costs that are expected under a proposedindividual fishing...

Economic Benefits of Management Reform in the Gulf ofMexico Grouper Fishery: A Semi-parametric Analysis
Weninger, Quinn R. - Iowa State University of Science and Technology <Ames, … - 2007
This paper uses a semi-parametric empirical model to estimate the economic benefitsof adopting a property rights-based management program in the Gulf of Mexico grouperfishery. The analysis predicts that a rights-based fleet will be comprised of fewer, morecost efficient boats than under the...

Integrating the value of natural capital in evidence-based policy making
Banerjee, Onil; Vargas, Renato; Cicowiez, Martín - 2020
This paper describes how Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) can be integrated into economy wide analytical frameworks to enhance evidence based decision making. Examples from applications of the Integrated Environmental Economic Modelling (IEEM) Platform show how explicitly accounting for the...
