Environmental & Resource Economics, 2015, vol. 61, issue 1, 17 pages

Abstract: We trace the contributions of Colin Clark from his first book and articles published in the mid-1970s to date and link them to the six papers contained in this Special Issue and the larger fisheries economics literature. We highlight the impacts of Clark’s contributions on the theory, empirical, policy and management of fisheries, ranging from particular fisheries applications right through to global studies of the economics of fishing. Our conclusion is that Colin Clark’s impact upon fisheries economics has been revolutionary and predict that 100 years from now, his classic contribution, Mathematical Bioeconomics will still be studied with care by economists.
