Integrated assessment of social, economic and ecological costs and benefits for best fishing practices and efficient public policies (ECOST) - A seminar by Haoran Pan

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:00:00 GMT

On Thursday March 19th, there will be a seminar by Haoran Pan in St. George's Building Room 4.17 at 11am.

Abstract: The ECOST model attempts to assess social, economic and ecological costs and benefits of fisheries in a framework coupling the economy with social and ecological systems. The economic model combines macroeconomic structure with microeconomic fishery production, where the production chain of fisheries is reflected. The model contains both supply-push and demand-pull input-putput mechanism at the core to trace full impact of marine fishing on the economy.The model is intended to link with the Ecopath ecological model, and contribute to social valuation in relation with fisheries.
