This article provides an estimate of resource rent creation and its distribution in Icelandic fisheries, which have been administered by an individual transferable quota (ITQ) management system for almost three decades. This study examined the period from 1997 to 2017. Little rent was produced in the first years; however, since 2008, rent has been significant, averaging 380 million USD per year, which is around 17% of the export value of the fishing industry. Approximately 20% of the rent went to the public due to a special fishing fee and through corporate taxes. The remainder was evenly split between those who originally acquired their fishing rights by grandfathering but have cashed in their windfall gains and traded their quotas, hereinafter referred to as quota sellers, and the companies working in the fishing industry, each receiving around 40% of the rent.

冰岛渔业资源租金及其分布

本文提供了冰岛渔业中资源租金的创造及其分布的估计，这些资源由个人可转让配额 (ITQ) 管理系统管理近三十年来。本研究考察了 1997 年至 2017 年期间。然而，自 2008 年以来，租金一直很可观，平均每年 3.8 亿美元，约占渔业出口额的 17%。由于特殊的捕鱼费和公司税，大约 20% 的租金流向了公众。剩余的部分平均分配给那些最初通过祖父获得捕鱼权但将意外收获兑现并交易配额的人（以下简称配额销售商）和从事渔业的公司，
