Promoting compliance by subsidies in a size-structured open-access fishery University of Augsburg, Germany Managing natural resources with output quotas or property rights can be costly and requires strong state capacity. In many developing settings, the most feasible formal policy is to regulate inputs, making compliance central. I develop a stylized size-structured model of a tropical open-access fishery to compare two compliance tools: increased enforcement effort and subsidies for nets with legal mesh size. The model characterizes how each policy affects incentives, entry, and stock structure. I derive conditions under which a subsidy outperforms enforcement, improving biological and economic outcomes even when the subsidy encourages additional entry, clarifying tradeoffs regulators unable to control outputs. | |
