| Title: | NORTH PACIFIC HALIBUT AND SABLEFISH IFQ POLICY DESIGN: QUANTIFYING THE IMPACTS ON PROCESSORS |
| Authors: | Matulich, Scott C.
Clark, Michael L. |
| Issue Date: | 2003 |
| Abstract: | This study examines how the two largest individual transferable fishing quota (IFQ) policies in the United States impacted halibut and sablefish processors. A survey of processors was conducted to estimate the change in processing sector welfare, measured as the change in quasi rents before and after IFQs. The policy was efficient and harvesters were left much better off. However, most processors did not participate in the rationalization benefits and, on average, were left worse off. Expanding the survey results to the pre-IFQ population, it is estimated that the halibut processing sector lost 56% of its prior quasi rents, while sablefish processors lost 76%. Eighty-two percent of the pre- IFQ halibut processors and 96% of the sablefish processors were estimated to be absolutely worse off. |
