Estimating the impacts of eliminating fisheries subsidies on the small island economy of the Azores
چکیده انگلیسی

A major problem affecting world fisheries today is overcapacity of which overfishing is both a cause and a consequence. There is a general consensus that fisheries subsidies cause great harm to the resource by exacerbating the problems resulting from the common resource issues of fisheries leading to overexploitation of the resource through a new set of perverse incentives. Many now advocate that subsidies should gradually be terminated, and that capacity enhancing and fuel subsidies should be terminated immediately. On account of the global fisheries crises, highly subsidised fisheries and the anticipated reforms of the European Union's Common Fisheries Policy this study aimed to estimate the impact of eliminating fisheries subsidies on various macro and micro economic variables pertaining to the regional economy of the Azores using a dynamic computable general equilibrium model based on a social accounting matrix. The simulation results suggest that reduction, and in particular, elimination of fisheries subsidies would have a substantial effect on the region, however, the negative social and economic effects would be largely confined to the fishing sector. Conversely, the augmentation of fishery subsidies would benefit the fishing sector with an overall adverse effect on the rest of the economy.

Research Highlights► Highly subsidised fish-harvesting sector. ► We estimate the impact of reducing/eliminating subsidies in the regional economy. ► A dynamic CGE model based on a SAM was used. ► Negative effects of elimination policies largely confined to fishing sector. ► Increasing subsidies benefit the sector with adverse effect on the rest of the economy
