What Saved The Whales? An Economic Analysis Of 20th Century Whaling, Biodiver. &
Conserv.
 









Abstract: Catches of whales show a historically cyclical pattern, with catches
declining as stocks of the financially most attractive species fell, but
expanding as substitute species were caught. Total combined catch peaked in the
early 1960s and fell thereafter to the current regulated levels. (...) economic
analysis reveals that market forces leading to reduced catch were already in
place well before the agreements took hold. To some extent, therefore, catches
were destined to decline as whale products ceased to be commercially attractive
on a large scale. Using econometric analysis, the paper shows the various forces
at work: declining stocks, (...).
