Management Of Fisheries In Eu: A Principal-Agent Analysis, Frank Jensen, Niels Vestergaard Dec 2000

Management Of Fisheries In Eu: A Principal-Agent Analysis, Frank Jensen, Niels Vestergaard

Niels Vestergaard

In this paper, an EU tax on fishing effort is studied as an alternative to the system of Total Allowable Catches (TACs). The analysis is conducted under imperfect information, and the hypothesis adopted is that the EU lacks information about the costs of individual fishermen. In light of this imperfection, there are at least two reasons for considering an EU tax. First, it can be used to correct part of the market failure associated with fisheries. Second, it can be used to secure correct revelation of fishermen types in light of asymmetric information.

Les 35 Heures, Tout N'Est Pas Noir, Thierry Warin Jan 2000

Les 35 Heures, Tout N'Est Pas Noir, Thierry Warin

Thierry Warin

Si l’on n’y prend pas garde, la réduction du temps de travail légal entraînera des effets non anticipés par le gouvernement. L’un d’entre eux est celui de l’augmentation du « travail au noir ». Aujourd’hui, les salariés sont contraints à ne pas dépasser 39 heures. S’ils le désirent, ils peuvent travailler moins en utilisant les contrats à temps partiel, mais en aucun cas, ils ne peuvent dépasser cette durée légale. Pourtant, certains d’entre eux utilisent leur temps libre pour arrondir les fins de mois. Des métiers sont plus propices à ces activités illégales : qui n’a jamais utilisé les services …

Comercio Intraindustrial En Europa: Determinantes Nacionales, Miguel Carrera Troyano Dec 1998

Comercio Intraindustrial En Europa: Determinantes Nacionales, Miguel Carrera Troyano

Miguel Carrera Troyano

En este trabajo se contrasta empíricamente la capacidad de los determinantes propuestos por la teoría para explicar la variación por países de los índices bilaterales de comercio intraindustrial (total, horizontal y vertical) de cinco países europeos (España, Francia, Alemania, Italia y Reino Unido). Tras presentar la metodología empleada para distinguir el comercio intraindustrial vertical y horizontal se presentan los resultados de la aplicación a los cinco países. Asimismo, se proponen y contrastan diferentes hipótesis explicativas, sin seguir un único modelo teórico, de la variabilidad entre países de los índices de comercio intraindustrial. Se concluye, entre otras cosas, que una parte …

Measures Of Welfare Effects In Multiproduct Industries: The Case Of Multispecies Individual Quota Fisheries, Niels Vestergaard Dec 1998

Measures Of Welfare Effects In Multiproduct Industries: The Case Of Multispecies Individual Quota Fisheries, Niels Vestergaard

Niels Vestergaard

A framework is developed to measure the welfare effects of individual quota reforms in multiproduct industries using the multimarket welfare measure techniques suggested by Just, Hueth, and Schmitz (1982) and the concept of virtual price in the production theory literature (Neary 1995; Squires and Kirkley 1996). Under joint in input production it shown that quasirent under a single quota can be measured by the producer surplus either in the output market for quota output or in the quota market. Under multiple quotas the welfare effects of quota policies can be measured in one of the quota markets using inverse derived …

Africa And The New World Order, Andrew Ewoh Feb 1997

Africa And The New World Order, Andrew Ewoh

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

What is the plight of Africa under the New World Order? The paper argues that the NWO poses severe economic problems for African nations. It offers two main practical solutions for these problems and plausible policy implications. The analysis concludes by acknowledging that structural adjustment programs as traditionally suggested by the International Monetary Fund and democratization of the polity will not guarantee economic prosperity for the continent.

Bæredygtig Udnyttelse Af Fornybare Ressourcer: Torskefiskeriet Ved Færøerne, Niels Vestergaard Dec 1994

Bæredygtig Udnyttelse Af Fornybare Ressourcer: Torskefiskeriet Ved Færøerne, Niels Vestergaard

Niels Vestergaard

The Faroe Islands cod fishery is analyzed for the period 1985-1992. It is shown that an approximately optimal and implementable fishery policy based on sustainability have increased the gross national income in the fishery by about 20%. This loss is due to an inoptimal organization of the fishery during that period combined with a very low cod stock at the end of 1992, which means reduced future catch possibilities. that the fishing capacity could have been reduced by about 1/3. The policy of sustainability is applied to the current situation in the fishery, and it is shown that the current …

The Critical Wage, Unemployment Duration, And Wage Expectations: The Case Of Chile, A. Studenmund, Sholeh Maani Dec 1985

The Critical Wage, Unemployment Duration, And Wage Expectations: The Case Of Chile, A. Studenmund, Sholeh Maani

A. H. Studenmund

This study tests the relevance of the job search model to understanding unemployment in developing countries by utilizing a 1982 data set describing unemployed men in Chile. The findings indicate that the model is relevant to a developing country: the job seekers studied based their critical wages on their perceptions of their own productivity, economic resources, and search costs, and they reduced their wage requirements as the duration of their unemployment increased. The authors also show, in the first direct test of this question, that the critical wage and the expected wage are determined jointly and that the expected wage …
