Government Financial Transfers to Fishing Industries in OECD Countries.

Ola Flaaten and Paul Wallis, OECD Publication. Government financial transfers (GFTs) to the marine capture fishery sectors in OECD Member countries represent a significant policy intervention. These transfers have a variety of objectives and governments employ a number of means to implement them. This paper reviews an OECD study and discusses the findings in the context of bio-economic theory and fisheries policy measures.
