• The bio-economic effects of artificial reefs: mixed evidence from Shandong, China 

      Sun, Peng; Liu, Xiaozi; Tang, Yangli; Cheng, Wenzhi; Sun, Runlong; Wang, Xinxin; Wan, Rong; Heino, Mikko Petteri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)
      Artificial reefs are used to protect coastal habitats and rebuild fisheries. This engineering approach to fisheries management has gained popularity in many coastal areas, including China. In Shandong province alone, over ...
    • Climate change risk perceptions and the problem of scale: Evidence from cross-national survey experiments 

      Tvinnereim, Endre; Lægreid, Ole Martin; Liu, Xiaozi; Shaw, Daigee; Borick, Christopher; Lachapelle, Erick (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      We examine the concept of spatial optimism, defined as the tendency for individuals to perceive climate change as less threatening to themselves than to people in geographically more distant locations. Existing studies ...
    • The Day-to-day Supply Responses of a Limited-entry Mixed Fishery 

      Liu, Xiaozi; Shaw, Daigee; Bjørndal, Trond; Heino, Mikko Petteri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Small-scale fishers’ short-run supply decisions are understudied, often because of data limitations. We utilize a unique dataset of daily catches and prices from a mixed-species trawl fishery in Taiwan, characterized by ...
    • Evaluating effort regulation in mixed fisheries: a Monte Carlo approach 

      Liu, Xiaozi; Heino, Mikko Petteri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      This paper evaluates whether effort regulation could achieve the goal of protecting low-abundance species in mixed fisheries. We construct a two-species bio-economic model and compare the stock abundance ratio in the end ...
    • Explaining landscape preference heterogeneity using machine learning-based survey analysis 

      Liu, Xiaozi; Tvinnereim, Endre; Grimsrud, Kristine; Lindhjem, Henrik; Velle, Liv Guri; Saure, Heidi Iren; Lee, Hanna (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      We conducted a national survey on a high-quality internet panel to study landscape preferences in Norway, using photos as stimuli. We examined preference heterogeneity with respect to socio-demographic characteristics and ...
    • Gaussian mixture models reveal highly diverse targeting tactics in a coastal fishing fleet 

      Liu, Xiaozi; Hansen, Cecilie; Nedreaas, Kjell Harald; Stockhausen, Hagen; Heino, Mikko Petteri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Fishermen make repeated choices with respect to when, where, and how to catch their target species. While these targeting tactics—and the factors shaping them—are known to fishers and some experts, knowledge about them is ...
    • Is there a generational shift in preferences for forest carbon sequestration vs. preservation of agricultural landscapes? 

      Liu, Xiaozi; Lindhjem, Henrik; Grimsrud, Kristine; Leknes, Einar; Tvinnereim, Endre Meyer (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Afforestation and reforestation are considered important measures for climate change mitigation. Because the land area available for tree planting may serve multiple purposes, striking the right balance between climate ...
