| Abstract: | Individual quota (IQ) programs are a promising and increasingly common means of regulating fisheries. This paper examines how profit maximizing fishers respond to different types of IQ programs in fisheries where many types of fish are harvested simultaneously. This analysis shows that the most common types of individual quota programs can induce discarding, and that individual quota programs that regulate the value of harvests never induce discarding. |
