    THE ECONOMICS OF ILLEGAL FISHING: A BEHAVIORAL MODEL

    Get PDF
    This paper analyzes the microeconomic behavior of fishers responding to imperfectly enforced regulations through illegal fishing and efforts to avoid detection. An intraseasonal optimization model is analyzed to determine optimal (profit-maximizing) harvesting strategies at the individual fisher level in response to input controls (such as gear or labor usage) or output controls (individual harvest quotas). For each regulatory option, the analysis explores: (a) the manner by which enforcement affects individual decisions concerning fishing and avoidance activity, (b) the level of enforcement necessary to achieve specified conservation goals, and (c) the role of various behavioral parameters in determining fisher decisions. It is shown, in particular, that the nature of avoidance behavior plays a crucial role in determining fisher response to regulations. Broad implications of illegal behavior on the sustainability of fishery systems are also discussed.Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,

    The Special Standing of Community Foundations as Sponsors of Donor-Advised Funds

    Get PDF
    Accelerating growth of donor advised funds has attracted vocal advocates and critics whose arguments are fundamentally about definition (the purpose of philanthropy), values (good philanthropy versus bad philanthropy), regulation (government or market), policy (the role and value of tax incentives), and sponsorship (for profit or nonprofit agency). Community foundations assert a special standing as sponsors of donor advised funds (DAF) because of their unique role in communities as anchor institutions whose mission is to serve the interests of their community. The question is, is this role grounds enough to justify and preserve the distinctive value of donor advised funds held by community foundations in their present form

    Global Dam Watch: curated data and tools for management and decision making

    Get PDF
    Dams, reservoirs, and other water management infrastructure provide benefits, but can also have negative impacts. Dam construction and removal affects progress toward the UN sustainable development goals at local to global scales. Yet, globally-consistent information on the location and characteristics of these structures are lacking, with information often highly localised, fragmented, or inaccessible. A freely available, curated, consistent, and regularly updated global database of existing dams and other instream infrastructure is needed along with open access tools to support research, decision-making and management needs. Here we introduce the Global Dam Watch (GDW) initiative (www.globaldamwatch.org ) whose objectives are: (a) advancing recent efforts to develop a single, globally consistent dam and instream barrier data product for global-scale analyses (the GDW database); (b) bringing together the increasingly numerous global, regional and local dam and instream barrier datasets in a directory of databases (the GDW directory); (c) building tools for the visualisation of dam and instream barrier data and for analyses in support of policy and decision making (the GDW knowledge-base) and (d) advancing earth observation and geographical information system techniques to map a wider range of instream structures and their properties. Our focus is on all types of anthropogenic instream barriers, though we have started by prioritizing major reservoir dams and run-of-river barriers, for which more information is available. Our goal is to facilitate national-scale, basin-scale and global-scale mapping, analyses and understanding of all instream barriers, their impacts and their role in sustainable development through the provision of publicly accessible information and tools. We invite input and partnerships across sectors to strengthen GDW’s utility and relevance for all, help define database content and knowledge-base tools, and generally expand the reach of GDW as a global hub of impartial academic expertise and policy information regarding dams and other instream barriers

    Die Metallorganischen Lewis-SĂ€uren Ph3PAuNO3 (1) und (CO)5ReFBF3 (2) setzen sich mit den Dithiolato-Metallkomplexen (Bu4N)2[M(mnt)2] (mnt = maleonitrildithiolato, M = Ni, Cu, Pt, Zn) und (Bu4N)2[Zn(dmit)2] (dmit = dimercaptoisotrithiono) zu den Komplexen (Ph3PAu)2mnt (3), (Bu4N)[Ph3PAu(mnt)] (4), (Ph3PAu)2Pt(mnt)2 (5) und (Ph3PAu)2dmit (10) bzw. [(CO)5Re]2Ni(mnt)2 (6), (Bu4N){[(CO)5Re]M(mnt)2} (M = Ni, Pt, 7, 8), [(CO)5Re]2(mnt)2 (9) und [(CO)5Re]2Ni(dmit)2 (11) um. Die Strukturen von 3, 4 und 5 wurden röntgenographisch bestimmt. In 4 ist der Chelatligand symmetrisch an das AuI-Atom gebunden. Im Kristall von 3 entstehen durch schwache AuAu-Wechselwirkungen Ketten (dAuAu = 309 pm). Die trans-anti-Konfiguration im Komplex 5 wird aus sterischen GrĂŒnden auch fĂŒr die analogen Komplexe 6 und 11 angenommen. WĂ€hrend 1 mit K2[M(dto)2] (dto = dithiooxalato, M = Pd, Pt) die erwarteten Bis(triphenylphosphangold)-Addukte 12 und 13 bildet, ergibt 2 [(CO)5Re]2 (dto)2 (14) als stabiles Endprodukt. Das Triphenylphosphangold-Analogon 15 erhĂ€lt man durch Reaktion von 1 mit K2dto. [(CO)5Re]2FeNO(dto)2 (16) kann als primĂ€res Produkt der Reaktion von 2 mit [Fe(NO)(dto)2]2- isoliert werden. Re(CO)5+ und Ph3PAu+ können an die verbrĂŒckenden S-Atome von [(ON)2Fe(-S)2Fe(NO)2]2- unter Bildung von 17 und 18 addiert werden

    Bien des facteurs interviennent dans la rĂ©alisation d'une performance, surtout dans les sports oĂč le matĂ©riel, comme en voile, joue un rĂŽle prĂ©pondĂ©rant. L'exemple, dĂ©veloppĂ© dans cet ouvrage, en tĂ©moigne : comment la Nouvelle-ZĂ©lande, petit pays de cinq millions d'habitants perdu dans le Pacifique Sud, a pu tenir tĂȘte aux gĂ©ants de la planĂšte et remporter, en 1995, la prestigieuse Coupe de l'America, dĂ©trĂŽnant les grandes nations maritimes comme les États-Unis, dĂ©tentrice du trophĂ©e. Quand on sait qu'aucune supĂ©rioritĂ© technologique Ă©vidente ne pouvait ĂȘtre reconnue Ă  la Nouvelle-ZĂ©lande, il devenait intĂ©ressant de s'attarder sur les facteurs humains. C'est l'objet de Teamthink. Ce livre est destinĂ© aux lecteurs intĂ©ressĂ©s par la gestion d'Ă©quipes de cinq Ă  deux cents personnes, qui veulent atteindre un but difficile, avec une composante technique et une durĂ©e relativement importantes.

    Lorsque l'on écrit un livre il est difficile de savoir quand il est définitivement terminé. C'est vrai pour celui-ci. Il y a toujours beaucoup de choses que l'on pourrait écrire encore, mais je n'ajouterais probablement que 10 % au contenu alors qu'il me faudrait deux fois plus de temps pour l'achever. Je crois qu'il est préférable de mettre le livre sur le marché pour que les gens puissent le lire, en retenir ce qu'ils pensent important à leurs yeux et commencer à appliquer son contenu pour ..
