Bioeconomic Modelling and Valuation of Exploited Marine Ecosystems

by J C J M Van Bergh, A T De Blaeij, J Hoekstra, R Imeson, and P a L D Nunes

Published 1 January 2006

This book offers an environmental-economic analysis of exploited ecosystems with a clear policy orientation. The study moves beyond traditional economic fishery analysis in two respects. First, several theoretical and numerical models are offered that combine economic and ecological descriptions of fisheries. Second, valuation and stakeholder concerns are addressed in empirical analyses employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The approaches, models and policy insights are sufficiently general and innovative to interest a broad audience.
