| Tiivistelmä: | All capture fisheries have proven hard to manage. Internationally shared stocks face an additional impediment to effective management. Previous fisheries studies estimate gains from cooperation for particular species or locations. However, evidence is lacking on the wider effect that international sharing has in relation to other variables that affect stock status. This article aims to shed broader light on the effect of sharing by identifying whether shared fish stocks are systematically more exploited. This study tests the theoretical implications of sharing by compiling exploitation status, biological and economic data into a unique two-period panel of more than 200 fish stocks. The result indicates that shared stocks are indeed more prone to overexploitation. |
