Abstract(s)
This dissertation analyses the optimal management of fisheries in the framework of
dynamic game theory. The analysis rests upon a blend of the economic model of the fishery
confined to the waters of a single state, with the theory of dynamic games. In order to
accomplish this objective, this dissertation has been organised as follows. Chapter 1
presents some background material concerning noncooperative and cooperative game
theory as well as a general formulation of continuous-time infinite dynamic games, also
known as differential games. In Chapter 2 we provide some material concerning the
dynamics of the fishery by summarising the Gordon-Schaefer bioeconomic model, which
provides the foundation for our analysis. Finally, in Chapter 3, and by combining the
subject presented in the preceding chapters, we examine the insights which dynamic game
theory can provide in analysing fisheries management.
