New Ph.D student at FAME
Hans Ellefsen from Faroe Island is a new Ph.D student at FAME. His Ph.D project investigates the stability over time of the agreements made on shared fish stocks between coastal states. The case study is pelagic fish stocks in the North East Atlantic Ocean. These stocks are source of great conflicts between the coastal states (Iceland, Norway, Faroe Island) around this ocean. Fisheries economics and in particular game theory is used to study these conflicts.
