Abstract
This presentation provides an extensive overview of the analysis and findings of studies of policy change in fishing management. It concludes that "Accurate assessment of the impacts of a policy requires a description of the production process that is sufficiently “deep” so as to be invariant to changes in management institutions". Search for "Hidden Flexibility: Institutions, Incentives, and the Margins of Selectivity in Fishing" for more details on this research
