Currently, United States anti-trust law prevents harvesters from coordinating to restrict output. In a fishery, this coordination can represent an improvement, despite the creation of market power because a monopolist builds the resource stock. We show, analytically, how a monopolist harvester co-op generates both resource and monopoly rent. While the monopolist generates monopoly rent by restricting production to generate higher prices, it also manages the fish stock to lower stock dependent harvesting costs. We demonstrate the conditions under which a monopoly is likely to be favored over rent dissipation. Given that a monopoly can be efficiency-improving in a common property resource sector, policymakers should consider both the costs and benefits of co-op formation in the case of a rent dissipated fishery. 000171628 546__ $$aEnglish 000171628 650__ $$aResource/Energy Economics and Policy 000171628 6531_ $$aResource rent 000171628 6531_ $$acooperatives 000171628 6531_ $$afishery 000171628 6531_ $$aantitrust law 000171628 6531_ $$amonopoly rent 000171628 700__ $$aManning, Dale T. 000171628 700__ $$aUchida, Hirotsugu 000171628 773__ $$d2014 000171628 8564_ $$9b9851223-b557-4abd-8632-5690baceb7f6$$s222577$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/171628/files/Manning_Uchida%20AAEA%202014.pdf 000171628 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/171628 000171628 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:171628$$pGLOBAL_SET 000171628 912__ $$nSubmitted by Hirotsugu Uchida (uchida@uri.edu) on 2014-06-03T18:05:37Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Manning_Uchida AAEA 2014.pdf: 222577 bytes, checksum: 21c1b7082e16a60c990929651544116b (MD5) 000171628 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2014-06-03T18:05:37Z (GMT).
