Using numerical simulations of the mixed common sardine and anchovy fishery of central-southern Chile, we study the effects of the distribution of administrative costs between the government and the fishing industry in an individual transferable quota system. Consistent with recent theoretical results, we find that the level and distribution of the administrative costs between the public and private sector affects the period-by-period equilibrium quota price and number of active vessels.

This article reviews the history of the Environment for Development (EfD) initiative, its activities in capacity building and policy-oriented research, and case studies at its centres in Chile, China, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania.

This research analyzes the effect(s) of the reallocation quota among fishermen organizations which are associated to Artisanal Extractive Regime (RAE), upon the benefit distribution of those organizations, and the possible relationship or connect among this benefit distribution, the maximum benefit and the employment. In order to achieve this objective, Generating Techniques were used, which emerge as a subset of Multi-objective Programming. The implementation is based on data about Chilean sardine and anchovy from Biobio region, Chile, for 2011.

The joint EfD Report 2013/14 showcases the work undertaken by the Environment for Development Initiative.

A través de fuentes de datos secundarias, esta investigación busca analizar las elecciones municipales en Chile a través de referentes teóricos y empíricos que permitan entender de mejor forma el proceso de selección de alcaldes. Específicamente lo que se intenta responder es: ¿qué hace que un alcalde en ejercicio busque la reelección? ¿Qué características de aquellos que deciden re postularse influyen en su probabilidad de ganar? ¿Qué características influyen en la cantidad de votos obtenidos?
