In this paper, we describe the multidisciplinary effort of scientists at
the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) to gather the type of information
necessary to parameterize a bioeconomic model. The framework for developing a
quantitative bioeconomic modeling approach to explore the potential tradeoffs
of various fisheries management strategies in the Gulf of Alaska ecosystem is
presented. The model quantifies risks associates with adopting a given
harvest strategy in terms of the value of increased yield, and the maintenance
of both walleye pollock and marine mammal populations. The simulation model
included process error in estimating recruitment and measurement error in the
stock assessment procedures.
Holm, Petter and Leigh Mazany (1995). Changes in the Organization of the
Norwegian Fishing Industry. Marine Resource Economics, 10(3):299-312.
The wealth and prosperity of the Norwegian fishing sector is due to its
corporatist arrangements giving it great political power and influence.
Changes in this institutional structure are underway toward a pluralist system
that has weakened the fishing sector. The consequences of this reform and its
impact on the prosperity of Norwegian fishermen is the focus of this article.
The corporatist institutions of the Norwegian fishery sector and their
interrelationships are first described. Second, the current reform process is
outlined and its causes are discussed. Finally, the extent to which the
prosperity and influence of the Norwegian fishery sector can be attributed to
the corporatist arrangements and whether the present reforms mean an end to
this situation are discussed.

North Pacific. In Brad Warren (ed.). Win-Win Bycatch Solutions.

The individual fishing quota, harvest priority, and full retention/full
utilization program regulations to control bycatch in the north Pacific
fisheries are presented and briefly discussed.
Homans, Frances and James E. Wilen (1997). A Model of Regulated Open Access
Resource Use. Journal of Environmental Economics and Management,
32(1):1-21.
This paper develops a model of regulated open access resource
exploitation. The regulatory model assumes that regulators are goal oriented,
choosing target harvest levels according to a safe stock concept. The harvest
quotas are implemented by setting season lengths, conditioned on the industry
fishing capacity. The industry enters until rents are dissipated, conditioned
on season length regulations. Harvest levels, fishing capacity, season
length, and biomass are determined jointly. Using parameter estimates from
the long regulated North Pacific Halibut fishery, predictions of these
variables from the regulated open access model are compared to predictions
that arise from the Gordon model.
Hooper, Peter (1976). "Forecasting U.S. Export and Import Prices and
Volumes in a Changing World Economy." Federal Reserve board,
International Finance Discussions Paper No. 99.
This paper describes the construction and performance of a forecasting
model that follows in the tradition of partial equilibrium econometric models
of U.S. trade, but with several important modifications in light of recent
changes in the world economy.
