• Certify or not? The effect of the MSC certification on the ex-vessel prices for Atlantic cod in Norway 

      Bronnmann, Julia; Asche, Frank; Pettersen, Ingrid Kristine; Sogn-Grundvåg, Geir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-19)
      There is strong evidence that ecolabeled seafood commands a price premium in the retail market in Northern European countries. At the same time, there is significant uncertainty as to whether these markups are passed on to the fishers. This is important because producer benefits are required for an ecolabel to provide incentives for sustainable fishery management and fishing practices. Therefore, ...
    • Is capture-based aquaculture viable? The case of Atlantic cod in Norway 

      Pettersen, Ingrid Kristine; Asche, Frank; Bronnmann, Julia; Sogn-Grundvåg, Geir; Straume, Hans-Martin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-25)
      Capture-based aquaculture (CBA) is an important branch of the aquaculture industry that differs from closed cycle farming in that the stocking material consists of captured wild fish or other aquatic organisms. By skipping the difficult early production stages of fish farming, producers can test whether assumed market advantages such as high quality and consistent supply result in higher prices – ...

      Straume, Hans-Martin; Asche, Frank; Landazuri-Tveteraas, Ursula; Misund, Bård; Pettersen, Ingrid Kristine; Zhang, Dengjun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-31)
      Product development is often an important component in increasing demand for successful aquaculture species. However, this topic has not received much attention due to limited data availability. In this paper, we investigate how the composition of salmon sales differ by product form by comparing the four largest European countries in terms of salmon consumption: France, Germany, Spain and the United ...

      Straume, Hans-Martin; Asche, Frank; Oglend, Atle; Gaasland, Ivar; Pettersen, Ingrid Kristine; Sogn-Grundvåg, Geir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-30)
      While seafood is a highly traded commodity, lack of data has largely prevented examination of the firms and industries that are conducting the actual transactions. In this paper we use highly disaggregated data to provide an overview of the seafood exports from Norway, the world’s 2nd largest seafood exporting country, and a country where fisheries as well as aquaculture are important industries. ...
    • Ulike kredittinstitusjoners utforming av kredittkontrakter i rurale markeder 

      Pettersen, Ingrid Kristine (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-09)
      Denne oppgaven tar for seg manglende tilgang på kreditt blant rurale låntakere i utviklingsland. Årsaken er problemer knyttet til asymmetrisk informasjon og hånhevelsesproblemer. Alle utlånere har behov for sikkerhet for å kunne tilby kreditt. Pant er et eksempel på dette. I modelleringne blir det derfor vist hvordan pant kan redusere kredittrasjoneringen. Derimot er pant en mangelvare blant de aller ...
    • A welfare analysis of Norway’s export promotion programme for whitefish 

      Kinnucan, Henry william; Das, Abhipsita; Pettersen, Ingrid Kristine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-19)
      Norway recently increased the effective levy used to fund its export promotion programme for whitefish by 21 per cent. Study results suggest the intensified programme is welfare increasing. The net social gain, defined as the difference between the increase in economic surplus associated with the increased advertising and the decrease in economic surplus associated with the increased effective levy, ...
