| Abstract: | The analytical framework used throughout most of this study is directly inspired from transaction-cost
economics, implying that a lot of attention is devoted to monitoring and enforcement costs involved in
collective schemes. One of its most important contributions is to show that, with the help of these
tools combined with conventional market power considerations, successes and failures of different
groups of fishermen according to their technique and site of operation can be well accounted for.
The outline is as follows. In Section 1, background information regarding Senegalese small-scale
marine fisheries are provided and the methodology of the study based on cross-section data is shortly
described. In Section 2, an historical sketch of all recent effort-limiting schemes attempted along the
Senegalese coast is presented. The methods used to limit fishing efforts, which vary according to the
fishery concerned, are discussed with a view to understanding their rationales in the light of the
specific circumstances surrounding them. Section 3, addresses the incidence of rule violations as
perceived by the fishermen themselves, tackled by using the multinomial logit approach on the basis
of our survey data. Section 4 is devoted to fitting a time-series econometric model to price and output
data. Section 5 summarizes the main results of the study. |
