AboutAbout the lab
Investigating problems specific to fisheries through resource economics
The Fisheries Economics Lab studies, from the perspective of resource economics, problems arising from the finiteness and uncertainty of fishery resources and from the diverse interests of those involved in fisheries.
Based on the relationship between the regeneration of fishery resources and fishing effort, the lab aims to improve fishers' profits.
Using resource economics and econometric methods, the lab investigates issues such as adding value to seafood products and conflicting interests on the high seas.
In April 2025, the lab's name changed from the Environmental and Life Economics Lab to the Fisheries Economics Lab.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab uses resource economics and econometric methods to investigate problems specific to fisheries that arise from the finiteness and uncertainty of fishery resources and from the diverse interests of stakeholders. Starting from the relationship between the regeneration of fishery resources and fishing effort, it aims to improve fishers' profits, and for the high seas it also takes externalities and quota systems into account.
