Fish demand patterns in nine Asian countries were investigated using a multistage budgeting framework allowing a disaggregated approach to analysing fish consumption. This paper highlights the heterogeneity of fisheries products in terms of species, sources and cultural responses of consumers,...

The aim of this paper is to analyze and determine the factors influencing fish demand in Tunisia during the 1975-2000 period. A Box-Cox transformation is used to select the appropriate functional form between linear and double-log models. Results indicate that the double-log form fits better the...

Inverse demand systems explain price variations as functions of quantity variations. This paper presents a dynamic inverse AIDS model based on recent developments on cointegration techniques and error correction model. The case of fish landed at Geek sea ports appears to suit this model well....

This dissertation consists of several essays, each one dealing with a specific aspect of the estimation of induced benefits from aquaculture R&D. The first essay gives an overview of the development of capture and aquaculture production, as well as fish consumption. The second essay analyses the...

In a marine multi-species environment, consumers' decisions may introduce interactions between species beyond biological ecosystem links. The theoretical literature shows that consumer preferences for variety can trigger a sequential (local) extinction of fish stocks. However, consumer...

The importance of fish size for price per kilo is studied using an inverse demand approach. Prices per kilo in different size categories of the same species differ significantly. This means that the average price for a species may change due to e.g., high-grading, growth overfishing or a...
