OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Do exports of fisheries products lead to fisheries collapse?
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.
