| Popis: | The purpose here is to shed some light on the creation of economic rent and profit in fisheries. This is done by explaining various concepts, such as economic rents and resource rents which are often used in this context without clear definition. We outline briefly the history of these concepts and review the various different definitions and meaning that scholars have attributed to these concepts. A brief discussion on the relation of economic profits and rents follows. The main focus is then to explain why it is inappropriate to conclude that the existence of so-called resource rent has entirely to do with the state of the fisheries resource or to government actions that limit access to harvesting. Rather, it is the rights based (re)organization of the fisheries that is the most important prerequisite for rent creation. Sufficiently strong property rights must be instituted in order to avert the "tragedy of the commons." It is further argued that the existence of resource rents in the fisheries relies primarily on the ability of those who work in the industry, their ingenuity and entrepreneurial activities, and appropriate incentives that these rights give to maximize the value of the catch and the products derived therefrom. |
