  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Permit Stacking as an Approach to Implementing Harvest Rights That Can Be Transferred and Accumulated Author: Hastie, James D. Year: 2001 The current U.S. moratorium on implementation of new Individual Quota (IQ) programs has left fishery managers without an important tool in the quest for successful management systems. Meanwhile, many fisheries, such as the west coast groundfish fishery, are in desperate need of capacity reduction and more flexible management. The Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) has, since 1994, employed a license limitation program for most of its groundfish fishery. Management objectives identified for this fishery include the provision of year-round supplies of fresh fish to regional markets. To promote this objective the Council has adopted, over the past 15 years, an evolving web of individual-trip and cumulative-time-period landing limits, which slow the pace of the fishery. In recent years, downturns in the perceived health of several stocks, combined with more stringent rebuilding requirements, have resulted in dramatic reductions in the limits for many species. With little hope of implementing a permit buyback initiative, the PFMC is currently considering alternatives for voluntary and mandatory permit stacking to achieve fleet reduction and, in turn, higher limits for vessels on the water. Stacking may prove to be an effective intermediate step towards IQs for fisheries combining limited access with some form of effort/output controls. In relatively small fisheries, particularly those with existing permit programs and output/effort restrictions, permit stacking may represent a cost-effective means of facilitatating fleet consolidation and individual accumulation of harvest rights.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Modeling Land Use with Multi-agent Systems: Perspectives for the Analyis of Agricultural Policies Author: Balmann, Alfons Year: 2001 This paper addresses the adequacy and perspectives of multi-agent system (MAS) models in the context of policy support for agricultural policy makers. The paper starts illustrating what MAS are and how they may be used. The general presentation is followed by the description of an exemplary spatial dynamic model of a large number of interacting farms (agents). This model is simulated for different policy scenarios and farm sizes. The results are analyzed with regard to the farm structure, land use, efficiency, and farmers' incomes. It is concluded that policy analysis should not only address problems of price distortio ns. If agricultural policies affect structural change in the way the simulations show, the dynamic efficiency and income implications may be much more severe. In particular, well meant subsidies may in the long run create a dependency on further support.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Government Financial Transfers to Fishing Industries in OECD Countries Author: Flaaten, Ola, Wallis, Paul Year: 2001 Government financial transfers (GFTs) to the marine capture fishery sectors in OECD Member countries represent a significant policy intervention. These transfers have a variety of objectives and governments employ a number of means to implement them. This paper reviews an OECD study and discusses the findings in the context of bio-economic theory and fisheries policy measures. In 1997-99 the OECD Fisheries Committee studied GFTs and their impact on fisheries resource sustainability in OECD countries. Simple theoretical analysis shows that the expected effects depend on the type of transfer as well as on the management system in place. A survey of government financial transfers in 24 OECD member countries shows that at least USD 4.9 billion was spent on general services in 1997 – 13 per cent of the value of landings. General services include fisheries research, enforcement, management, enhancement and infrastructure. Most of these services are considered important for ensuring the sustainable use of fish stocks and the aquatic ecosystem. A further USD 1.4 billion was spent on support in the form of revenue enhancing and cost reducing transfers to the sector in 1997 – 4 per cent of the value of landings. Common examples include modernization subsidies, decommissioning payments, tax exemptions and income support. Due to insufficient data the study was unable to explore in detail the impact on fisheries sustainability of government financial transfers. Nevertheless, the study advanced the understanding of the impacts of transfers on the fisheries sector and some useful findings and assessments were made.
