  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Eco-Labeled Seafood in Japanese Market: Wtp Analysis Using Choice Experiment Author: Onozaka, Yuko, Managi, Shunsuke, Morita, Tamaki, Uchida, Hirotsugu Seafood ecolabel, such as Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) label continues to expand worldwide, particularly in European and US markets. Consumers’ response to ecolabeled seafood products in these markets has been studied in the past, mostly with encouraging results. Meanwhile, and after a decade since the establishment of MSC, seafood ecolabel has not penetrated the Japanese market, where per capita seafood consumption is by far the largest in the world. Focus group sessions suggested that typical Japanese consumers are simply not fully aware of the state of world fish stocks. This raised several interrelated questions: will Japanese consumers demand sustainably fished products, as indicated by the label, after being informed of the situation? Will there be a price premium for ecolabeled products? Will the content of information matter? To answer these questions, we implemented a web-based national survey and discrete choice experiment on primary shoppers. Provided that (a) the consumers are made aware of the fisheries’ conditions and its relations to the ecolabel and (b) the label can be trusted, our results suggest that there is a significant demand for eco-labeled seafood in Japan. We also analyzed how other important attributes (e.g., wild/famed, domestic/import) interact with the effect of ecolabel.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: How can Community-Based Management Improve an Outcome? The Effects of Revenue Sharing and Social Capital in a Fishery Author: Anderson, Christopher M., Uchida, Hirotsugu, Tegawa, Mihoko We empirically disentangle the efficiency mechanism of revenue sharing, in which a group of harvesters shares catch and/or revenue among members of a fishery cooperative, by incorporating the influence of social capital. In addition to each of revenue sharing and social capital influencing a fishery independently we hypothesize social capital potentially affecting the efficiency that revenue sharing brings through strengthening collective fishing efforts performed as a group. This paper provides the first rigorous analysis to measure the effect of revenue sharing and social capital in a co-managed fishery and to identify the mechanism through which revenue sharing and social capital affect the outcome of a fishery. We quantified social capital using controlled economic experiments with fisherman subjects. Using a panel dataset containing 10 fishery groups and random-effects model with wild cluster bootstrap for small sample inference, we find evidence of the long-run positive effect of trust in a community on an economic outcome. The results also show that the fisheries with fishers having similar information network size achieve better stock conditions over time. However, we find no robust evidence of the effect of revenue sharing directly improving an outcome in a fishery or the effect of both revenue sharing and social capital interacting to affect the fishery or its management outcomes.
