Potential Short-run Welfare Losses from Essential Fish Habitat Designations for the Surfclam and Ocean Quahog Fisheries
Abstract In this paper, we present a spatial model of fishing that can be used to assess some of the economic welfare losses to producers from setting aside essential fish habitat (EFH) areas. The paper demonstrates how spatially ex-plicit behavioral models of fishing are estimated, how these models...
