Abstract: Estimation of U.S. and Canadian yield functions in a bioeconomic model of the Georges Bank scallop fishery indicated stock and congestion externalities. The latter resulted in nonconcavity of the combined yield function, thus generating the possibility of steady-state corner solutions where one nation would be eliminated from the fishery.
