Christopher Anderson is a fisheries economist at the University of Washington's School of Aquatics and Fisheries Sciences. He studies the behavioral responses of commercial harvesters to various forms of management, particularly the effects of shifting individual and community rights systems and how these systems evolve in response to economic outcomes. His research employs global data to relate management features to socioeconomic outcomes in specific U.S. fisheries, using methodologies such as game theory, panel econometrics, and experimental economics to understand approaches for managing rights in multispecies fisheries, particularly in scenarios involving limited quotas and bycatch of prohibited species. Additionally, he is a member of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council Scientific Statistical Committee.
