摘要:The objective of the paper is to simulate behavior of economic agents with a special
emphasis on the use of the time resource in economic processes. The case studied, is
brought from the fishing industry. With an aid of simulations, the study analyzes behavior of
economic agents as they lead their processes through time. The paper estimates the value
of time in a fishery operation, and shows that the time cost is essential in clarifying some
phenomena in economic behavior of agents. Among the conclusions is that difference in
economic efficiency between strong and weak ownership is due to difference in time costs.
The secondary goal of the paper is to develop a simulation tool that can be of use in
analyzing a range of problems in the fishing industry, ranging from decision situations
onboard fishing vessels to serve as a tool for fishery managers and legislators
