Viktoria Kahui (nee Schneider)
 BSc
(Hons), MSc, PhD (Otago)
Viktoria’s research is in natural resource economics and
fishery economics in particular. She combines theoretical bioeconomic
models with real world issues in marine resource utilization to
explain the observed behaviour of fishing agents. Her work focuses
on finding incentive mechanisms that align fishing interests with
conservation interests; an often challenging and highly emotive
subject. Related interests include ecosystem impacts of fishing,
the valuation of natural resources and management.
