“…Property rights may also be a major determinant of fishers' attitudes and behaviour (Hardin, 1968;Blyth et al, 2002;Dalton et al, 2004;Hannesson, 2004;Janmaat, 2005). Individuals respond to economic incentives, which in turn are influenced by the prevailing property rights structure (Furubotn and Pejovich, 1972).…”

“…Individuals respond to economic incentives, which in turn are influenced by the prevailing property rights structure (Furubotn and Pejovich, 1972). Weak or absent property rights can create incentives for overexploitation and consequent resource depletion, while stronger rights, whether formally or informally granted, can incentivize resource conservation and stewardship as future returns are subject to protection (De Alessi, 1998;Dalton et al, 2004). Research suggests that incentives for resource stewardship are influenced by factors such as the resource characteristics, resource-user group characteristics, institutional arrangements and history (Wade, 1988;Ostrom, 1990;Baland and Platteau, 1996;Agrawal, 2001;Hanna, 2001).…”

a b s t r a c tFishers' attitudes and perceptions are critical for the success of fisheries protection areas with their associated biota, and a failure to understand fishers' behaviour may undermine the success of such fisheries management measures. In this study, we examine fishers' perception of a long-established exclusive fisheries zone around Malta and to investigate if the perceptions depend on fishers' demographic, economic, social characteristics and fishing activity of the fishers. A questionnaire survey was undertaken to evaluate the demographic characteristics, economic situation (costs and revenue) and fishers' activity and behaviour, together with their perception of the Fisheries Management Zone (FMZ). A total of 241 interview responses were analysed which was a response rate of 60%. The perception of most fishers was that the establishment of the FMZ has had an overall negative impact on their fishing activity and that the zone is not important for the protection of local fish stocks. When asked about the beneficial effect of the zone for fishers, most fishers from all backgrounds said that the zone does not benefit commercial fishers, but benefits mainly recreational fishers. The most evident differences in the perceptions and attitudes were between the full-time, part-time and recreational fishers. Fishers that have been fishing for more than 35 years and fishers from the main fishing village also had different attitudes from other fishers towards the FMZ. The results of this study suggest that the proportion of individual income derived from fishing was the strongest factor that influenced attitudinal differences, with home port and fishing experience having less important effects. The main differences in attitude among fishers were related to the protection and conservation effects of the zone, enhancement of resources and conflicts among user groups. The heterogeneity among fishers' attitudes revealed by the present study has important implications for the implementation of spatial closures. Some sectors of stakeholders may require additional incentives to accept restrictions on access if spatial management is to achieve its intended objectives.

Results show that not all initial conditions approaches to positive renewable resources in the long run, nevertheless the established threshold allows an intuitive understanding of institutional change effect on the sustainable development.…”

“…The main results of these studies were focused on studying how institutional reforms reflected in changes in parameter values could prevent the fall of historical civilizations such as Easter Island whose mismanagement of natural resources was the cause of failure [1][2][3][4]. The simple model developed by Brander and Taylor [1] give us an intuitive reasoning about the fall of the civilizaction on Easter Island which could be repeated in current societies such as those inhabiting the Amazon rainforest and many others around the world who survive mainly from natural resource.…”

“…Bio-economic models have been calibrated to replicate the collapse of Easter Island and similar historical episodes (Brander and Taylor, 1998;Basener and Ross, 2005;Good and Reuveny, 2009). Several authors have argued that the Easter Island economy is a metaphor of resource-based closed systems like Planet Earth and extended the model to include manufactured goods (Reuveny and Decker, 2000), intentional capital bequests (Harford, 2000) and endogenous technological change (Dalton et al, 2005).…”

We study the interactions between technological change, resource scarcity and population dynamics in a Schumpeterian model with endogenous fertility.We …nd a pseudo-Malthusian equilibrium in which population is constant and determined by resource scarcity while income grows exponentially. If labor and resources are substitutes in production, income and fertility dynamics are selfbalancing and the pseudo-Malthusian equilibrium is the global attractor of the system. If labor and resources are complements, income and fertility dynamics are self-reinforcing and drive the economy towards either demographic explosion or collapse. Introducing a minimum resource requirement per capita, we obtain constant population even under complementarity.
