Title: Regulation of Stochastic Fisheries: A Comparison of Alternative Methods in the Pacific Halibut Fishery
Authors: Androkovich, Robert A.
Stollery, Kenneth R.
Issue Date: 1989
Series/Report no.: Marine Resource Economics
Vol. 6 No. 2
Abstract: This article considers the relative merits of ad valorem taxation, season controls, and entry limitation as methods the government may use to deal with the externality problem in the Pacific halibut fishery. This is accomplished by simulating a stochastic dynamic program that uses parameters obtained from empirical analysis of this fishery. Although we find taxation to be the preferred regulatory instrument, the efficiency gains from regulation are minor when compared with the losses associated with the demand, output, and stock uncertainty in the fishery.
