Jensen, Carsten Lynge (1998). "Investment Behavior and Tax Policy."
Marine Resource Economics, 13(3):185-196.
This paper concerns the behavioral modeling of the aggregated capital
dynamics in the Danish fishing fleet. The emphasis is placed on testing the
impact of the after-tax user cost of capital and aggregated profit on capital
dynamics in the fishing fleet. It is argued that the investment behavior is
driven by the incentives created by implemented tax and depreciation
legislation. The policy implication of the study is that a tax on capital is
seen as an effective tool in controlling incentives for overcapitalization in
the fishing fleet.

Resources in Federal Systems: The Case of Fishery in the EU."
Working Paper No. 3/99, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark,
July, 51 pp.
The EU regulation of fisheries is decided in two levels. The level of
the total allowable catch (TAC) for the most important species is decided
every year by the Council of Ministers. The TACs are allocated t the Member
States as quotas. The Member states determine who is going to harvest the
quota. There is, however, an information problem associated with this
structure. It does not take into account how efficient fishermen in different
countries are. In this paper we model the information problem as an adverse
selection problem and analyze an EU tax coupled t effort as an alternative to
the TAC system. We work with the hypothesis that EU suffers from a fiscal
illusion and includes tax revenue in the objective function in order to
finance other, also inefficient, operations. Even in the light of these
imperfections there are at least two reasons for re3commeding an EU tax.
First, it can be used to correct part of the market failure associated with
fishery. Second, it can be used to secure correct revelation of types in the
light of asymmetric information.
Jensen, William and Hans Radtke (1987). "Recreational Fishing: A
Conceptual Overview for Economic Impact Modeling." Draft report.
This paper is concerned with the concept of impact assessment as it
relates to recreational fishing activities. More narrowly, it focuses
primarily on the ocean fisheries. It is hoped that a well defined impact
assessment procedure will limit the misuses of economic information and reduce
the number of confusing statements made. Contains an overview of the
assessment of economic impacts.

Responsibility to Fishermen's Organizations." Marine Policy,

This article addresses the role of cooperative organizations in
fisheries management and the extent to which fishermen's organizations are
capable of handling regulatory functions. What are the problems inherent in
the cooperative management approach, and what may be the benefits compared to
other regulatory systems? Which circumstances may be beneficial for the
