    • A review of game theoretic models of fishing 

      Sumaila, Ussif Rashid (CMI Working paper, Working paper, 1997)
      Game theory is a formal tool for analysing strategic interaction between a finite number of agents. The fact that usually more than one entity or agent has property rights to fishery resources, has led to an explosion in ...

    • A selected survey of traditional and evolutionary game theory 

      Sumaila, Ussif Rashid; Apaloo, Joseph (CMI Working paper, Working paper, 2002)
      This note reviews the game theoretic literature with the aim of highlighting the similarities and dissimilarities between what we term traditional game theory and evolutionary game theory. The focus is on the contributions ...

    • Determinants of inflation in Tanzania 

      Laryea, Samuel A.; Sumaila, Ussif Rashid (CMI Working paper, Working paper, 2001)
      Tanzania’s inflation rate which averaged about 30% in the early 1990’s dropped to about 13% at the end of 1998. Using an error correction model (ECM), this paper estimates an inflation equation for Tanzania based on quarterly ...

    • Fish as vehicle for economic development in post-independence Namibia 

      Sumaila, Ussif Rashid (CMI Working paper, Working paper, 1997)
      A key fishery policy issue decided by the new government of Namibia soon after independence in 1990 relates to the division of the total allowable catch for hake between wetfish and freezer trawlers. Using economic and ...

    • Hard Methods for Soft Policies. Environmental and Social Cost-Benefit Analysis 

      Angelsen, Arild; Sumaila, Ussif Rashid (CMI Working paper, Working paper, 1995)
      The quest for sustainability has put the conventional Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) technique under fierce attack. Much of the critique is, however, misplaced or based on misunderstandings. Alternative methodologies for ...

    • Impact of management scenarios and fishing gear selectivity on the potential economic gains from Namibian hake 

      Sumaila, Ussif Rashid (CMI Working paper, Working paper, 1999)
      This paper develops a model for Namibian hake, which incorporates the biology, gear selectivity and the economies of the hake fisheries in a framework that allows the analysis of fishing gear impacts on the potential ...

    • Marine protected areas and managing fished ecosystems 

      Sumaila, Ussif Rashid; Guenette, Sylvie; Alder, Jackie; Pollard, David; Chuenpagdee, Ratana (Research report, Research report, 1999)
      This paper provides a synthesis of the current literature on the potential of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a management tool to limit the ecosystem effects of fishing, including biological and socio-economic perspectives. ...

    • Non-Cooperation in Fish Exploitation. The Case of Irreversible Capital Investment in the Arcto-Norwegian Cod Fishery 

      Sumaila, Ussif Rashid (CMI Working paper, Working paper, 1994)
      A two-stage, two-player non-cooperative game model is developed under an irreversible capital investment assumption. The main aim is to predict the number of vessels that each player in such a game will find in his best ...

    • Protected Marine Reserves as Fisheries Management Tools: A Bioeconomic Analysis 

      Sumaila, Ussif Rashid (CMI Working paper, Working paper, 1998)
      This paper develops a dynamic computational bioeconomic model with the objective of assessing protected marine reserves as fisheries management tools. Data on the North East Atlantic cod stock are used to determine the ...

    • Strategic Dynamic Interaction: The Case of Barents Sea Fisheries 

      Sumaila, Ussif Rashid (CMI Working paper, Working paper, 1997)
      This paper develops a bioeconomic model for two Barents Sea fisheries that attempts to capture the predator-prey relationships between cod and capelin, the two main species in the habitat. The aim is to analyse joint ...
