Distributional Consequences of Fisheries Regulations

Diane Dupont and Shelley Phipps

Canadian Journal of Economics, 1991, vol. 24, issue 1, 206-20

Abstract: An empirical methodology for evaluating fisheries regulations in terms of both rent gains and employment losses is proposed. A royalty tax and a change in catch distribution among competing vessel types are compared with the status quo of restricted access. The case study is the British Columbia commercial salmon fishery. Results suggest that rent gains associated with the alternatives are not always sufficient to compensate for losses in fishing income.
