1 Basics of IEAs and game theory (Yulia)

-group work 1

-group work 2

Material for group work: Barrett 2003 Chapters

2 Gordon-Schäfer fisheries game (Marko)

Material: P. Pintassilgo, L.G. Kronbak & Marko Lindroos [2015]. International Fisheries Agreements: A Game Theoretical Approach. Environmental and Resource Economics 62, 689-705.

Group work: exercise in IEA-Part3.pdf

3 Ruseski two-level fisheries game (Marko)

Material: Ruseski 1998

Group-work: Assume that each country has only one vessel in the Ruseski model. Compare the Ruseski 2nd stage fisher game to the previous lecture two-player game. Discuss how you would expand the model to include more countries and how would that affect the model.

4 Coalition games (Marko)

Material: P. Pintassilgo, L.G. Kronbak & Marko Lindroos [2015]. International Fisheries Agreements: A Game Theoretical Approach. Environmental and Resource Economics 62, 689-705.

Group-work: Develop a coalition game of your choice by applying either the c-game or p-game approach.

Return weekly eg by email by the following Monday's lecture

1. Let the backstop price be 118, optimal time to exhaustion 50 and the discount rate 5%. Compute the optimal price of the competitive industry at t=0, t=10 and t=50. (return by 7.11. at 10.15)

example solution 1

2. Show that the optimal extraction path is decreasing in time. Further show that the competitive market's optimal extraction path is steeper compared to the monopoly extraction path. (return by 14.11. at 10.15)

example solution 2

3. doc (return by 21.11. at 10.15)
