Etter hvert førte rystelsene til at forvaltningspraksisen med fritt fiske ble terminert. ...

We used an index approach to calculate demand growth for seafood in 107 countries from 1984 to 2013.

We consider a vertical supply chain in which a monopoly retailer produces a good by assembling a number of essential components each of which is owned by a monopoly. Rather than making the common assumption that the component price is set in the same way for each owner, we investigate the possibility that the retailer may profit by bargaining with some owners in a group, whilst others set their ...
