Hi Alexandra,

you might wish to look into the approaches of Rashid Sumaila and his group at UBC, Vancouver, mostly using game theory to interpret findings. Reg Watson, back in Australia is developing a global price database for fish and marine products. These groups give very useful leads.

The criticism of "the tragedy of the commons" that underlies much of modern policy, whether it's ITQs or other allocation proposals, is that it's too narrow a definition - see work by Ostrom and others. See also

Beyond the Tragedy in Global Fisheries. By D. G. Webster. Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 2015, 468 pp., hardcover. ISBN 978-0-262-02955-1. and a recent review of the book by J.K. Abbott

Hope that helps as a starting point. Greetings, Cornelia

Hi Alexandra,

I do not know if I understand your proposal. But it has a software called "Netlogo", in it is possible to create models of social simulation. In that case, you can take production data and stock it.

Well Alexandra is asking about basic socio-economic model. Maybe you need to specify your problem to throw light on how detailed you want to go. But link is a source of basic socio-economic data collection and presentation http://www.fao.org/3/a-i6970e.pdf
