The Optimality of the Common Fisheries Policy: the Northern Stock of Hake
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002)
We evaluate the management of the Northern Stock of Hake during 1986-2001. A stochastic
bioeconomic model is calibrated to match the main features of this fishing ground. We show how catches, biomass stock and profits ...
Sole Ownership and Common Property Under Management Flexibility: Valuation, Optimal Exploitation and Regulation
(2001-01)
If one were to examine the institutional configurations under which real world fisheries operate, one would find virtually no fisheries operating under either pure open access or rent maximizing conditions. Instead, most ...
Reference Points and Optimal Management in Stochastic Age-Structured Fisheries Models
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2009-07)
The purpose of this article is to characterize dynamic optimal harvesting trajectories that maximize discounted utility assuming an age-structured population model, in the same line as Tahvonen (2009). The main novelty of ...
Why Economists Reject Long-Term Fisheries Management Plans?
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2009-08)
Most fisheries agencies conduct biological and economic assessments independently. This independent conduct may lead to situations in which economists reject management plans proposed by biologists. The objective of this ...
The Evaluation of Fisheries Management: A Dynamic Stochastic Approach
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2003-03)
In this article, we analyze how to evaluate fishery resource management under “ecological uncertainty”. In this context, an efficient policy consists of applying a different exploitation rule depending on the state of the ...
Mixed Oligopoly and Environmental Policy
(2001-02)
The literature on mixed oligopoly does not consider the role that the environmental policy of the government plays on the decision whether to privatize public firms. Assuming that there are one public firm and n private ...
International Trade and Strategic Privatization
(2001-03)
The literature on mixed oligopoly does not consider that there is strategic interaction between governments when they decide whether to privatize their public firms. In order to analyze this quetion we consider two countries; ...
Environmental Standards, Wage Incomes and the Location of Polluting Firms
(2000-03)
The purpose of this paper is to study how the choice of environmental standards by governments is affected by the existence of wage incomes when firms' location is endogenous. In developed countries labor is unionized, ...
International and Intergenerational Dimensions of Climate Change: North-South Cooperation in an Overlapping Generations Framework
(2003-12)
Global environmental problems such as climate change have both an international and an intertemporal dimension. Recently, some papers have used an overlapping generations framework to analyze the climate change problem ...
Second-best tax policy in a growing economy with externalities
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2006-10)
This paper investigates the exploitation of environmental resources in a growing economy within a second-best scal policy framework. Agents derive utility from two types of consumption goods one which relies on an ...
