OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Abstract:
Do exports of renewable resources exacerbate resource depletion? In the case of fisheries, the answer is yes. We use species-level fisheries data to estimate the causal effect of exporting on fisheries collapse. A fisheries collapse in Japan is used as an instrument for fisheries exports in countries which do not share fish stocks with Japan. Since Japan is a large market for fisheries products, the Japanese collapse spurs export demand in other countries. The results suggest a large increase in the likelihood of fisheries collapse as a result of exports. Fisheries which are not managed via quotas are more severely affected.
