We present a general, dynamic model of within-season harvesting competition in a sherymanaged with individual transferable quotas. Markov-Perfect equilibrium harvesting andquota purchase strategies are derived using numerical collocation methods. Our approachallows direct examination of harvest...

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...

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...

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...
