Grow Fins: februari 2014

http://grow-fins.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Natural resource economics and weird music. Maandag 24 februari 2014. My thoughts on Daniel Bromleys critique (1): Is open access the problem? In 2008 Daniel Bromley. Gave a keynote lecture. With a central message similar to that in his earlier keynote, but phrased in stronger terms - and with a lot more impact. In his. Article made on most economists (again, to put it politely). I decided to put my thoughts on his criticism of fisheries economics in a few posts. To start with, there is the conceptual co...

Natural resource economics and weird music. Vrijdag 28 maart 2014. My thoughts on Daniel Bromley's critique (3): Are ITQs private property rights? In my first post in this series. I argued that although open access is just about the worst property rights regime to have in a fishery, it is too simple to blame all overfishing on 'lack of property rights'; rather, we need to go into the details of the institutional setting. In my second post. The reply of some economists is that in practice, even American I...

Natural resource economics and weird music. Maandag 27 oktober 2014. I want a MOOC". How many university boards are like this guy. When you replace "iPad app" by " MOOC. Client: "I want an iPad app.". Designer: "For what purpose? Client: "I don't know, I just want an iPad app.". Source: Clients From Hell. Don't get me wrong here. Some MOOCs are great.

Grow Fins: december 2013

Natural resource economics and weird music. Zondag 29 december 2013. ITQs and organisational costs. There is a fair bit of controversy in fisheries science on the merits and caveats of ITQs, catch shares, or whatever you want to call them. I won't go into the details of that debate here, but the following news caught my attention (H/T Adam Soliman. California fishers say quota system is all wet. Monitoring costs are part of the organisational costs of a policy instrument: you need people to do the paperw...

Grow Fins: januari 2015

Natural resource economics and weird music. Zaterdag 3 januari 2015. I just realised that I never announced on this blog that I presented my (new and improved) research vision to the assessment committee for a second time - and that the assessment committee agreed that I should be appointed associate professor as of 1 November 2014. So there you go: as of 1 November 2014 I am in the position of associate professor. Fireworks, music, ticker tape.). I would have liked to say that my trip to Australia.

Natural resource economics and weird music. Vrijdag 15 mei 2015. OMICS Publishing Group clogs my inbox. Just got the third invitation in a month to review a paper on marine microbiology. Looking up the publisher I found this. Little wonder my reply to them was a tad less polite than the previous two:. 1 I'm a natural resource economist with no knowledge of biology. 2 This is the third such invitation. You're wasting your time and, worse, mine. Abonneren op: Berichten (Atom). Tragedy of the commons.

Grow Fins: Value Function Iteration in R, Python, GAMS

http://grow-fins.blogspot.com/2014/11/value-function-iteration-in-r-python.html

Natural resource economics and weird music. Maandag 24 november 2014. Value Function Iteration in R, Python, GAMS. So I've spent a couple of evenings debugging my code, trying it in different languages to see whether it was me or the built-in functions I used (it was me), so I ended up with the same model in R. I figured I might as well post the code on the web. Yes, I found the problem, and no, I'm not going to tell what it was because I find it too embarrassing. Abonneren op: Reacties plaatsen (Atom).

Natural resource economics and weird music. Vrijdag 23 mei 2014. Burn the schools down. Later on they changed the name to "Real-World Economics", perhaps not to offend people suffering from autism. Looking at their review. I still don't get the impression that they're making much of a dent in the economics debate. Neither am I convinced by what they write, to put it politely. But now a new revolt has emerged in Manchester. I agree with their proposition that economics teaching should take heed of insight...

Natural resource economics and weird music. Donderdag 25 september 2014. Why are Dutch fish mongers so terrible? For a country that controls a chunk of sea one and a half times its land mass, the Dutch are pathetic eaters of seafood. OK, granted - we're rightly proud of our slightly-cured herring (which is mostly caught by the Norwegians) and our. That turned out to be a difficult question. "I don't know," he stumbled, looking at me as if I had just asked him about the sound of one hand clapping....In 20...
