Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 應用經濟研究所 === 100 === Fishery resources are going to exhaust. World Trade Organization and regional fishery organizations started to review whether the fishery subsidy policies may harm the permanency of the fishery stocks. The subsidy of fishing vessel fuels was the major prohibition among all discussions. Caused by increasing crude oil price, higher fishery vessel fuels price will reduce income of fishermen. To prevent the situation, countries in the world such as Japan had been executed the cost subsidy policy which is similar to income insurance inherently to substitute the existing price subsidy policy. This study soft-links the fishery sector model and computable general equilibrium model for Taiwan and to simulate the impacts when removing fishery fuel price on Taiwan’s economy and fishery sectors. It also evaluates the impacts if Taiwan adopts the cost subsidy policy. The simulation results show the fishery’s quantity, output value and value added will be decreasing, but they will turn to increase when adopting Japan’s income insurance subsidy policy. The results seems reasonable the may be a good reference for decision makes.
