Valuing coastal recreation and the visual intrusion from commercial activities in Arctic Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-04)
The coastal zone in the Arctic is being extensively used for recreational activities. Simultaneously, there is an
increasing pressure from commercial activities. We present results from a discrete choice experiment implemented
in Arctic Norway, revealing how households in this region make trade-offs between recreational
activities and commercial developments in the coastal zone. Our results show ...
Informing management strategies for a reserve: Results from a discrete choice experiment survey
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-18)
It is well-known that operating within the boundaries of a national park provides commercial actors with the opportunity to charge a price premium, though this has to a lesser degree been demonstrated for marine protected areas. We estimate national tourists' willingness-to-pay a price premium for boat trips in the Nha Trang Bay Marine Protected Are, Vietnam, using a discrete choice experiment. Our ...
Demographic and economic disparities among Arctic regions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-20)
We use demographic and economic indicators to analyze spatial differences and temporal
trends across 18 regions surrounding the Arctic Ocean. Multifactor and cluster analysis
were used on 10 indicators reflecting income, employment and demography from 1995
to 2008. The main difference is between regions with high population densities, low
natural growth rate, and low unemployment (Russia, Norway ...
Use and non-use values in an applied bioeconomic model of fisheries and habitat connections
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-25)
In addition to indirect support to fisheries, marine habitats also provide non-use benefits often overlooked in most bioeconomic models. We expand a dynamic bioeconomic fisheries model where presence of natural habitats reduces fishing cost via aggregation effects and provides non-use benefits. The theoretical model is illustrated with an application to cold-water corals in Norway where two fishing ...
What does stakeholder involvement mean for fisheries management?

Willingness to pay for unfamiliar public goods: Preserving cold-water coral in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-17)
The world's largest concentration of cold-water coral (CWC) is found off the Norwegian coast. Most CWC discoveries are recent, posing new challenges for Norwegian coastal and fishery authorities regarding the management of deep-sea resources. Scientific knowledge of CWC is limited, and many citizens have not even heard about them. This creates problems for the application of the stated preference ...
Sequential bargaining, external effects of agreement, and public intervention
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
In some bargaining situations, agreement has implications for agents beyond the parties involved, and if so, delays in reaching an agreement or failing to reach an agreement, when this would be profitable, may imply significant welfare losses. The question raised in this paper is whether the intervention of a government, who has a positive valuation of agreement and therefore offers a subsidy, will ...
Stakeholder Influence and Optimal Regulations: A Common-Agency Analysis of Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Regulations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
One aspect of ecosystem-based management is to include new stakeholders. When an environmental NGO (ENGO) gets a say in the fisheries management, this will affect the authorities' optimal regulation. Combining a principal-agent model and a steady-state bioeconomic model, we show that under symmetric information the authorities will moderate their use of regulation as a response to the ENGO's increased ...
Nemo-effekten og koraller
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2014-05-07)
Bryr den norske befolkningen seg om dyphavet og de organismer som lever der selv om vi ikke har noen direkte nytte av dem? Er vi villig til å ofre økonomisk aktivitet som fiskeri og oljevirksomhet for beskytte miljøet i dyphavet? Vår studie sier ja.
The Political Game of European Fisheries Management
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-14)
European fisheries activities are subject to a hierarchy of regulatory authorities.
This raises questions regarding the implications of strategic interaction between different
authority levels concerning the regulation of these activities. We apply a bio-economic
objective function where fishers and regulators have environmental, economic and social
preferences, and where fishers are subject to ...
