Research on fisheries, energy and the environment has a long tradition in the SNF and NHH environment. Gradually, issues related to climate have also become very important.
Within fisheries economics, the issues have varied over time, but the basic question has always been how to improve value creation in the fishing industry and at the same time have a sustainable management.
Over time, new topics have emerged such as economic research related to fish farming and aquaculture from the early 80s and issues related to climate change and the effect of global warming in relation to fisheries management in recent times.
The areas in research on climate and energy have also varied over time, but an important common denominator has been socio-economically sustainable and effective solutions. The research is based on the basic environments in economics at NHH and the University of Bergen, and Business Administration and Strategy and Management at NHH.
Focus on fisheries
- Climate change, global warming and fisheries management
- Aquaculture and fish farming economics
- Incentive-based management; markets for quotas and ownership rights
- Capacity adjustment, fleet structure and catch distribution
- Analyzes of supply and demand for fish products
- Environmental consequences of fishing and aquaculture
Focus on energy and climate
- Public finances: Regulation related to market power and environmental consequences, but also tax and fiscal policy issues are important topics.
- Business economics: Research on business economics aspects such as imperfect competition, research and development, and the effects of asymmetric information.
- Financial economics: The understanding of financial markets for financing, risk management, as well as the exercise of ownership and control is central.
