“…It is assumed that some independent variables may affect differently the decision to participate in seed potato at all and the decision on the level of investment. The Double Hurdle model approach, and specifically Craggit model, has been widely considered in studies on participation or uptake of agricultural technologies and the level of commercialisation after uptake (Mignouna et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2016;Hsueh and Kasperski, 2018;Burke, 2019).…”

High quality seed potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) supply has failed to meet the growing demand estimated at 250,000 metric tonnes from 161,000 ha of ware potato for cultivation by 600,000-800,000 small-scale farmers in Kenya. Increased investments by private seed potato multipliers could alleviate the shortage of seed potato by enhancing availability and accessibility to quality seed, and bridging the supply that currently meets less than 5% of the demand. The objective of this study was to investigate factors that influence agripreneurs’ investment decisions and level of investment in clean seed potato enterprise in the highlands of the Rift Valley, Kenya. The study was conducted through a cross-sectional survey of 380 agripreneurs. The Double hurdle (Craggit) model analysis revealed that training, frequency of extension services, family history in seed potato business, years spent in school and selling price, significantly (P<.05) influenced the probability of agripreneurs’ decision to invest in clean seed potato enterprises in the highlands of Kenya. Initial land size put under seed potato production at the commencement of the enterprise, higher annual household income, number of cropping seasons, total land under seed potato and group membership fee also significantly (P <.05) influenced the decision and level of investment in clean seed potato enterprise.

“…Our analysis includes all Alaska fisheries and is arguably one of the larger analyses of fishing policy outcomes to date. Although not investigated here, there is also evidence that spillover may occur between fishing regions or countries and therefore an even broader scope may be appropriate ( 21 , 41 ).…”

“…Several recent studies have investigated cross-fishery spillovers from a theoretical ( 17 ) and/or empirical ( 6 , 7 , 10 , 18 – 21 ) perspective; however, these studies investigate leakage using a limited, predetermined set of fisheries in which leakage can occur. In practice, fisheries compose a complex and connected system, and the scope of leakage is not immediately clear.…”

“…Several studies have examined the margins of change associated with catch shares ( 27 – 31 ), including the effects of limits on quota transferability within catch-share programs, which are often implemented to meet social objectives ( 32 ); however, with few exceptions ( 7 , 21 ), these studies focus only on the fishery (or fisheries) in which catch shares were implemented and generally do not consider the potential implications of leakage. In contrast, we estimate the scope of leakage (i.e., the set of impacted fisheries), changes in participation beyond the catch-share fishery, and changes in economic connectivity that coincide with catch-share implementation.…”

The emergence of ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) has broadened the policy scope of fisheries management by accounting for the biological and ecological connectivity of fisheries. Less attention, however, has been given to the economic connectivity of fisheries. If fishers consider multiple fisheries when deciding where, when, and how much to fish, then management changes in one fishery can generate spillover impacts in other fisheries. Catch-share programs are a popular fisheries management framework that may be particularly prone to generating spillovers given that they typically change fishers’ incentives and their subsequent actions. We use data from Alaska fisheries to examine spillovers from each of the main catch-share programs in Alaska. We evaluate changes in participation—a traditional indicator in fisheries economics—in both the catch-share and non–catch-share fisheries. Using network analysis, we also investigate whether catch-share programs change the economic connectivity of fisheries, which can have implications for the socioeconomic resilience and robustness of the ecosystem, and empirically identify the set of fisheries impacted by each Alaska catch-share program. We find that cross-fishery participation spillovers and changes in economic connectivity coincide with some, but not all, catch-share programs. Our findings suggest that economic connectivity and the potential for cross-fishery spillovers deserve serious consideration, especially when designing and evaluating EBFM policies.

“…Leakage in fisheries occurs when effort allocation shifts from one fishery to another and is measurable and attributable to a policy change. In fisheries, leakage has been shown to occur when catch shares are implemented-especially when gear similarity and market substitutability are high (Asche et al, 2007;Cunningham et al, 2014;Hsueh & Kasperski, 2018;Kroetz et al, 2019). The implementation of catch quotas may cause leakage if the restriction shifts fishing effort toward a stock that is not regulated by a quota.…”

Effective fisheries management interventions have the potential to increase fisheries resilience and generate high profits and yields (Free et al., 2020;Gaines et al., 2018). Over the past 15 years, many developed nations have improved the health of fisheries within their exclusive economic zone (EEZ) through effective management (Hilborn et al., 2020). Management is often more challenging for fisheries that move between or beyond EEZs (Liu & Molina, 2021).High seas fisheries-those that occur beyond EEZs-are open access
